HIV 1 & 2 Test with Confirmation
Knowing your HIV status is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health and the health of others. The ICare HIV 1 & 2 Test with Confirmation is a highly accurate laboratory blood test designed to screen for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Types 1 and 2. If the initial screening result is reactive, additional confirmatory testing is automatically performed to help provide a clear and definitive result.
HIV is a manageable condition when diagnosed early. Advances in medical treatment have made it possible for many people living with HIV to lead long, healthy lives. Early detection also allows individuals to begin treatment sooner, helping protect their immune system and significantly reducing the risk of transmission.
Whether you're seeking routine screening, have had a potential exposure, or simply want peace of mind, ICare offers confidential, convenient testing with the accuracy and professionalism you deserve.
What Does This Test Measure?
The HIV 1 & 2 Test with Confirmation is a laboratory blood test that screens for HIV-1 and HIV-2, the two types of HIV known to infect humans.
The initial screening looks for:
HIV-1 antibodies
HIV-2 antibodies
HIV-1 p24 antigen, an early marker of HIV infection
If the initial screening result is reactive, additional confirmatory testing is automatically performed to verify the result and help distinguish between HIV-1 and HIV-2 when appropriate.
This two-step testing process provides greater confidence in your results and follows current laboratory standards for HIV diagnosis.
