The HIV 1 and 2 Test is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) blood test used to detect antibodies to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). This test identifies antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2, providing accurate detection typically within 3-12 weeks after exposure. It is crucial for those at higher risk of HIV or presenting symptoms, as it allows for early diagnosis and management. At Max Lab, the HIV test can be booked online, with an option for convenient at-home sample collection.

The HIV 1 and 2 Test is critical for individuals at risk of HIV infection or showing symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, night sweats, or recurrent infections. HIV compromises the immune system, leading to vulnerability to infections and, in advanced stages, AIDS. Early diagnosis through this test enables timely medical intervention, improving long-term health outcomes and helping prevent transmission. People with risk factors like unprotected sex, shared needle use, or a history of STDs should consider regular screening for HIV to detect and manage the infection effectively.
