with HIV Antibodies by ICMA

This DNA test uses a sophisticated diagnostic technology called PCR to detect HIV DNA in blood cells. As it can pick up HIV as early as 48-72 hours past exposure with an 95% accuracy rate, this is an Early Detection test. Also included with this test is the HIV-1 antibody screening test which can confirm antibodies, if they are present. While a negative result with this test panel is very good news, all positive test results should be followed up with another antibody test after 90 days for confirmation of the diagnosis.
