- HIV I and II antigen/antibody test: This dual test checks the blood for antigens as well as antibodies. People infected with HIV have the antigen p24 present in their blood. This test will first check for this antigen, then antibodies.
- HIV I and II Nucleic Acid Test (NAT): The Nucleic Acid Test checks the blood for HIV RNA. This is the genetic material found in HIV.
