Overview
There are different kinds of HIV, but HIV I and II are the more common kind. The HIV I and II test is a comprehensive test, and checks the following:
- HIV I and II antibody test: 2 to 8 weeks after infection of the HIV, the body starts to produce antibodies. This test checks for these antibodies in the bloodstream
- HIV I and II antigen and antibody test: This is a dual test that first checks for the presence of p24 antigen, then for the HIV antibodies
- NAT: NAT or nucleic acid test checks the blood for HIV RNA. This is the genetic material that is found in HIV
