The HIV Antigen/Antibodies Test is the recommended standard rapid test for routine HIV Screening. It typically sees quick results in just 1-2 business days and is one of the most affordable HIV tests available. The HIV Antigen/Antibodies test, also known as a 4th Generation HIV Test, looks for both antibodies to the HIV virus and the p24 Antigen which is specific to HIV. Antibodies to HIV typically begin to develop several weeks after exposure. In the majority of people, these antibodies will be detectable by 12 weeks from the point of exposure. In some people, antibodies may be detectable as early as 4 weeks from exposure. The p24 Antigen is a viral protein which makes up the majority of the HIV viral core (capsid). P24 Antigen levels are typically highest a few weeks after exposure and drop to undetectable levels during the time when antibodies begin to develop. The combination of screening for both antibodies and antigen allow this test to detect a significantly higher number of early infections than previous generations of HIV screening.

In addition to the antigen/antibody screening, this test includes additional supplemental testing at no extra cost in the event of a positive result. If the initial screening comes back positive, it will be run again multiple times. If any of the additional runs come back with a positive result, an HIV Multispot confirmatory test will automatically be run. The Multispot Supplemental test provides differentiated testing for antibodies to both HIV 1 and HIV 2. If the Multispot test has a negative or indeterminate result, a Qualitative RNA test will be run. This test looks for the genetic material of the HIV virus. With three possible levels of detection, the 4th Generation HIV Antigen/Antibody test provides a thorough and in-depth analysis.

HIV is the virus that may cause AIDS. It can be years before AIDS manifests. However, for many it may only take a couple years. Medicine has proven to slow HIV's progression to AIDS. Early detection is key!
