What is an HIV Test?
An HIV test is a medical test used to detect the presence of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) antibodies or antigens in a person’s blood, saliva, or urine. The test aims to determine if an individual has been infected with HIV. There are different types of HIV tests, including antibody tests, antigen tests, and combination tests that detect both antibodies and antigens.
During an HIV test, a sample of blood, saliva, or urine is collected and analyzed in a laboratory. The test results can indicate whether the person is HIV-positive or HIV-negative. It’s important to note that HIV tests do not diagnose AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) directly but rather detect the presence of the virus that can lead to AIDS if left untreated.
