PharmEasy Labs offers a complete HIV testing package. It includes-

• HIV 1 and 2 antibody test- 2-8 weeks after exposure to HIV, the body begins to produce antibodies to combat the virus. This blood test detects these antibodies.
• HIV 1 and 2 antigen/antibody test- This combination test first looks for the HIV antigen. If a person has HIV, there will be antigen p24 in their blood. It then checks for the antibodies.
• HIV 1 and 2 nucleic acid test (NAT)- This test detects the HIV RNA in blood. It can also give an accurate measure of the viral load.

HIV 1 and 2 test may be recommended by your doctor to see if you have HIV if you have been exposed to the virus. This test is also done as a routine check when someone wants to donate blood before a woman decides to conceive or during the first trimester of pregnancy.

HIV 1 and 2 test is also prescribed when one shows the classic symptoms of HIV infection, such as sores in the groin, trouble swallowing, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, extreme fatigue, oral thrush, swollen lymph nodes, etc.

The HIV test looks for antigens, antibodies or viral RNA, so eating food or abstaining from eating has no impact on the test results. Hence, fasting is not required for HIV 1 and 2 test.

During the HIV 1 and 2 Test

If you book an online HIV 1 and 2 test through PharmEasy by using their official app or the website for a home collection,  a phlebotomist will come to you and collect a blood sample. There is no need to go to labs or hospitals personally and stand in a queue to get tested.
