Detail Description

Human Immuno Virus RAPID SCREENING TEST

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that weakens the immune system and makes it harder for the body to fight off infections. HIV can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which is a more advanced stage of the infection. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk.

The Human Immuno Virus Rapid Screening Test is a simple blood test that can quickly detect the presence of HIV antibodies in the blood. The test is usually done by pricking the finger and collecting a small amount of blood. The blood is then applied to a test strip, and the results are usually available within 20-30 minutes.

Symptoms of HIV

The symptoms of HIV can vary from person to person, and some people may not experience any symptoms at all. Some common symptoms of HIV include:

• Fever
• Fatigue
• Sore throat
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Rash
• Headache
• Muscle and joint pain

These symptoms can occur within a few weeks of being infected with HIV and can last for a few days to several weeks. After the initial symptoms, some people may not experience any other symptoms for months or even years.

Diagnosis of HIV

The Human Immuno Virus Rapid Screening Test is one way to diagnose HIV. However, it is important to note that the test may not detect the virus in the early stages of infection. If the test is negative, but there is a suspicion of HIV infection, the test may need to be repeated after a few weeks or a different type of test may be needed.

Other tests that may be used to diagnose HIV include:

• HIV Antibody Test
• HIV Antigen Test
• HIV Viral Load Test

Test Cost

The cost of the Human Immuno Virus Rapid Screening Test in India is INR 257.4. This cost may vary depending on the location and the healthcare provider.
