About the Test
This test allows you to check for HIV, the sexually transmitted viral infection that left untreated will progress to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). People with HIV may not have signs and symptoms. If you’re sexually active and have unprotected sex, it’s important to screen for sexually transmitted diseases so you can stay informed about your sexual health. Testing is the only way to know for sure if you have a sexually transmitted infection. The HIV Test detects the presence of both HIV antibodies (HIV-1 and HIV-2) and HIV antigen.

FAQs
It is not always possible to know if you have HIV or any sexually transmitted disease because many people do not have symptoms. Here are some of the most common symptoms of HIV:
- Sweats
- Persistent fever
- Fatigue
- Chills
- Recurring fever
- Chronic diarrhea
- Weight loss
- Weakness
- Skin bumps or rashes
- Swollen lymph glands
- Mouth sores
If you had unprotected sex at least 4 weeks ago, an HIV test can help determine if you are positive whether or not you have symptoms.
Disease progression can be slowed with treatment. There is no cure for HIV at this time. However, you can control it with medication.
It’s possible to pass HIV to your unborn baby. The virus can pass through the placenta. It can also be passed to your baby through breast milk. If you are pregnant, it is important to get tested for HIV as soon as possible and consult with your OBGYN for next steps.
The best way to protect yourself is to practice safe sex and to limit the number of sexual partners that you have. Regular testing can help you detect HIV and start treatment early.
Anyone who is sexually active should get tested at least once a year. Annual testing is also recommended if you:
● Are a man who has sex with men
● Have had more than 1 sex partner
● Have had sex with someone who has tested positive for HIV
● Use or have used needles for drug injection
● Have exchanged sex for drugs or money
● Have had another STD since your last test
● Have hepatitis or tuberculosis (TB)
● Are pregnant
