    Q&A

    Helps you know your test better

    Q. What Are The Early Symptoms Of HIV?

    A. These are very similar to common flu or any other illness, which makes detecting the presence of HIV infection in your body difficult. These symptoms include Fever, Chest or Throat Infection, Sore Throat, Vomiting, Nausea, Headache, and Rashes. Since these are common, they can mostly get overlooked. The only way to know your HIV status is to get tested at the earliest.

    Q. What Are The Later Symptoms Of HIV?

    A. After the common symptoms go unnoticed, HIV does start to damage the body. The later symptoms include that your body takes a longer time to recover and stops responding to medication as effectively as it is supposed to. So, it becomes significant to go for a Rapid HIV Test to minimize damage and live a longer life.

    Q. How Is HIV Transmitted?

    A. HIV transmits from one human to another among anyone indulged in unprotected vaginal or anal sex with someone who has HIV or has relationships with multiple partners. Moreover, sharing needles or syringes puts one more at risk of getting infected with HIV. A baby can also get HIV through their mothers during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or childbirth. Lastly, anyone who has received blood/organ/ tissue of an HIV Infected patient can get infected.

    Q. Will I Need To Do Anything Special To Be Prepared For The Test?

    A. No special preparation is required for HIV Antibody Test or HIV Screening Test. However, you can speak with your healthcare provider before or after the test to understand everything related to testing, results, and treatment options.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between HIV and Aids?

    HIV is the virus, but Aids is the later stage of the disease. There is no cure available for HIV/Aids yet. Therefore, you should take preventive measures to avoid being infected with the disease.

      What is the cost of an HIV test in Paschim-vihar, Delhi?

      You can book HIV Test in Paschim-vihar, Delhi @ Rs 999 with zero sample collection charges. Our prices at Redcliffe Labs are affordable.

        Who should go for an HIV Test?

        Everyone between the age of 13 to 64 or sexually active or having sex with multiple partners should get tested to diagnose the condition early and manage it in time.

          When should I get tested for HIV?

          HIV tests look for antibodies that emerge within a few weeks to six months after being caught by the infection. During this incubation period, it is advisable to avoid unprotected sex, sharing needles, or other behaviors that could lead to HIV infection.

            What if I tested positive for HIV?

            Positive HIV doesn’t always confirm AIDS or that you will develop it. It only means that you have the virus in your body that can cause AIDS if not managed in time.

              Is a doctor's prescription required for the HIV early detection test?

              No, a prescription is not required for the HIV early detection test. However, it’s important to note that availability and regulations surrounding HIV can differ from one pathology lab to another. To expect accurate test results and up-to-date information about your health, it is suggested that you get tested at the most reliable pathology lab, Redcliffe Labs.

                Is the HIV early detection test confidential?

                Yes, HIV testing, including early detection tests, is typically confidential. Confidentiality is an essential aspect of HIV testing to protect the individual’s rights and privacy. As healthcare providers and testing facilities are bound by professional ethics and legal obligations to maintain the confidentiality of patients.

                  When is the HIV 1 & 2 Antibodies test recommended?

                  The HIV 1 & HIV 2 antibodies test is recommended when an individual shows any of these symptoms: Unexpected weight loss, Night sweats or fever, Extreme tiredness, Swollen lymph nodes, Pneumonia, etc.

                    How does the HIV early detection test differ from other HIV tests?

                    The HIV early detection test differs from other HIV tests. Here are some of the key differences: Window period: It refers to the time between HIV infection and when a test can accurately detect the infection. The HIV early detection test has a shorter window period compared to previous-generation tests. It can detect HIV infection as early as 2-3 weeks after exposure, whereas other HIV test takes 4-6 weeks to test. Markers detected: The early detection test is designed to detect both HIV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies as well as the p24 antigen, while other HIV tests fail to do the same. Accuracy: The early detection HIV test is highly accurate compared to other HIV tests.

                      Identifying the target group: Who should consider getting the HIV early detection test?

                      HIV early detection tests are recommended for individuals who have had recent potential exposure, want to go for routine screening, opt for medication treatment (pre-exposure prophylaxis), and show the symptoms of acute HIV infection like fever, rash, sore throat, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes.

                        Comprehensive detection: Can the HIV early detection test identify all strains of HIV?

                        Also known as the fourth-generation HIV test, the HIV early detection test is designed to detect HIV-1 and HIV-2; the two main strains of HIV. As the HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses are widespread strains of HIV globally, their detection is vital. However, there are some rare HIV mutations too, which require assistance from other tests along with the HIV early detection test.

                          Exploring potential risks: Are there any associated risks or side effects with the HIV test?

                          There are no such risks associated with HIV early detection tests. However, you may experience soreness, swelling, and bruising at the puncture site due to the blood-drawn procedure.

                            When will I receive my reports?
