HIV Rapid & Antibodies
Test
HIV 1 & 2 (Rapid)
The HIV 1 & 2 Antibody Test is a rapid immunochromatographic assay used to detect antibodies against HIV type 1 and type 2 in human serum, plasma, or blood samples.
Since it’s a rapid test, the results are reflected in less than 15 minutes. As HIV-1 antibody tests do not always detect HIV-2 infections, doctors recommend having both tests.
Test
HIV 1 & 2 Antibodies
HIV 1 & 2 antibodies in a person’s blood sample confirm an HIV infection. HIV 1 is the most common type of HIV infection that affects nearly 95% of people around the world who are living with HIV.
HIV 2 is comparatively rare, but they are transmitted by direct contact with bodily fluids.
