What is HIV/AIDS Combo Testing (First Package)?
The HIV Combo Test (1&2 AB/Ag) is a type of blood test that can detect both HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and free HIV-1 p24 antigen.
How is HIV (AIDS) Transmitted?
- HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and can cause AIDS, a condition that makes it harder for the body to fight off infections and diseases.
- HIV can be transmitted through certain body fluids from a person who has HIV and a detectable viral load. These fluids include blood, semen, vaginal fluid, anal mucus, and breast milk.
- Some of the most common ways that people get HIV are by having unprotected sex (without using a condom or medicine to prevent or treat HIV) with someone who has HIV, or by sharing needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment with someone who has HIV.
- HIV can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding, but this risk can be reduced by taking HIV medicine as prescribed.
- HIV cannot be transmitted by casual contact, such as hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing food or drinks, or using the same toilet or shower as someone who has HIV.
- HIV is not spread through saliva, sweat, tears, urine, or feces
What is the Importance of HIV Combo Test (1&2 AB/Ag)?
- This test can help diagnose HIV infection earlier than antibody-only tests, as the p24 antigen appears before the antibodies in the blood. The test can also distinguish acute HIV-1 infection from established HIV-1 infection when the specimen is positive for p24 antigen and negative for antibodies.
What is the window period for HIV Combo testing?
- The window period for HIV testing is the time between HIV exposure and when a test can detect HIV in your body. The HIV combo test looks for both antibodies and a protein called p24 antigen that is part of the virus. P24 antigen appears before antibodies, usually 18 to 45 days after exposure
What are the Symptoms of HIV?
HIV is a virus that can damage the immune system and make it harder to fight off infections and diseases. HIV can cause AIDS, a condition that can be life-threatening if not treated. HIV can be transmitted through certain body fluids from a person who has HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, anal mucus, and breast milk. The most common ways that people get HIV are by having unprotected sex or sharing needles with someone who has HIV.
The symptoms of HIV can vary depending on the person and the stage of the infection. Some people may not have any symptoms at all for many years. However, some common symptoms of HIV are:
– Fever
– Chills
– Rash
– Night sweats
– Muscle aches
– Sore throat
– Fatigue
– Swollen lymph nodes
– Mouth ulcers
These symptoms may occur within 2 to 4 weeks after getting infected with HIV, and they may last for a few weeks. This is called the acute stage of HIV infection. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other illnesses, so they are not a reliable way to tell if you have HIV. The only way to know for sure if you have HIV is to get tested.
If you do not get treatment for HIV, the virus will gradually weaken your immune system over time. This can lead to more serious symptoms and complications, such as:
– Weight loss
– Diarrhea
– Recurring infections
– Persistent cough
– Shortness of breath
– Skin problems
– Neurological problems
– Opportunistic infections or cancers
These symptoms may occur after many years of having HIV, and they indicate that you have developed AIDS. AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection, and it can be fatal if not treated.
If you think you may have been exposed to HIV or have any of the symptoms mentioned above, you should Do the HIV Test
What is meaning Positive HIV or Negative HIV Report?
- If you test positive for HIV, you can start treatment right away and get the care and support you need. If you test negative for HIV, you can learn about ways to prevent getting or passing on HIV.
- The good news is that there are effective treatments for HIV that can help you live a long and healthy life. These treatments are called antiretroviral therapy (ART), and they work by reducing the amount of HIV in your body and preventing it from damaging your immune system.
- If you take ART as prescribed and achieve an undetectable viral load (a very low level of HIV in your blood), you can prevent the progression of HIV to AIDS and reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to others
How you Prevent yourself from HIV Transfer?
HIV transmission can be prevented by using condoms correctly and consistently during sex, taking medicine to prevent or treat HIV (also known as pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP and post-exposure prophylaxis or PEP), getting tested regularly for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and avoiding sharing needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment.
