Test Overview
What Is an HIV Test in Surat?
An HIV test is a medical procedure that checks if you have been infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. The test helps detect and diagnose HIV infection, allowing for early treatment and better health outcomes.
What Does an HIV Test Measure in Surat?
The HIV test measures specific markers that indicate the presence of HIV in your body:
- HIV antibodies: Special proteins your immune system creates to fight the HIV infection.
- HIV p24 antigen: A protein that is part of the virus itself, which appears early in infection.
- Combined detection: This advanced test can identify both antibodies and antigens simultaneously for more accurate results.
- Early infection markers: Helps detect HIV even in the very early stages before symptoms appear.
Who Should Consider an HIV Test?
Several groups of people should consider getting tested to protect their health and the health of others:
- People who have had unprotected sexual contact with multiple partners.
- Individuals who have shared needles or syringes for drug use.
- Anyone who has received a blood transfusion or organ transplant before proper screening protocols.
- People with symptoms like prolonged fever, unexplained weight loss, or persistent fatigue.
- Pregnant women, as part of routine antenatal care.
- Healthcare workers after potential exposure to infected blood.
- Anyone who wants to know their HIV status as part of regular health monitoring.
What Is the Purpose of an HIV Test?
The HIV test serves a vital role in early detection and prevention of HIV transmission. Early diagnosis allows you to start antiretroviral therapy promptly, which helps maintain your immune system and prevents progression to AIDS. Additionally, knowing your HIV status helps you make informed decisions about protecting your partners and accessing appropriate medical care.
