HIV I And II Test In Gurgaon - Price & Details

HIV remains a public health issue affecting more than 2.5 million people in India. The social stigma associated with HIV makes people delay testing and treatment, which often leads to a fatal stage known as AIDS. PharmEasy offers home sample collection and trusted testing services, keeping your data fully confidential to make HIV testing convenient, private, and accessible. HIV-I and HIV-II tests enable early diagnosis and timely treatment, reducing the risk of spread.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) lives in the body fluids of an infected individual and can be spread to anyone who comes in contact with infected body fluids.

The following individuals are at high risk and should consider getting HIV testing done:

• Individuals with multiple sexual partners or those who have had unprotected sex with infected individuals.
• People sharing needles/syringes or receiving blood transfusions.
• Healthcare workers handling body fluids.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
• Anyone undergoing major surgery.

HIV may produce the following symptoms in early or later stages of the infection, and calls for testing to confirm the diagnosis:

• Persistent fever
• Muscle aches
• Joint pain
• Night sweats
• Sore throat
• Diarrhoea
• Skin rash
• Sudden weight loss
• Unexplained fatigue
• Swollen lymph nodes in the neck or groin

HIV test frequency may vary depending on your occupation and exposure history. Check the table below for more details.

HIV-I and HIV-II tests check for two variants of HIV, out of which one is more common. To know more about the differences between these two, check the table below:

What to Expect Before the Test?

• Fasting is usually not required.
• Inform your doctor about all current medications or any recent exposure.
• Always consult your healthcare provider for any special instructions beforehand.

What to Expect During the Sample Collection?

The steps for the blood sample collection procedure are explained below:

• An elastic band is tied around your upper arm for better access to veins.
• The skin is cleaned with an antiseptic, and a needle is inserted into the located vein.
• The needle is withdrawn after the sample is collected, and a bandage is placed over the site to prevent minor bleeding.

What to Expect After the Test?

• The test procedure is generally safe with minimal to no risks.
• If dizzy, sit and relax for a few minutes to recover.

Note: If you notice bruising, pain, or a rash at the puncture site after the test, consult your healthcare provider.

After a window period, antigens and antibodies appear in the blood or body fluids of an infected individual that can be detected using these tests. The table below mentions test parameters and test result interpretation for the HIV-I and HIV-II tests.

Important note: Test results may vary from lab to lab. Early testing during the window period may give false results. Always consult your healthcare professional for interpretation of your test results.

• Window period: Testing too early may yield a false-negative result, as antibodies may not appear during the initial weeks of HIV infection.
• Supplements: High doses of biotin (vitamin B7) can occasionally interfere with lab results. It is best to skip it for 24 hours before the test.
• Sampling errors: Poor sample handling can lead to errors and yield false results.
