HIV P24 Antigen Test

The HIV P24 Antigen Test is a blood test used to detect the presence of the p24 antigen in the blood. The p24 antigen is a protein that is part of the HIV and is present in the blood during the early stages of HIV infection.

The test works by detecting the p24 antigen in the blood. It is most effective during the first few weeks after infection, when levels of the antigen are highest. However, it can also be used later in the infection as a supplemental test to confirm HIV status.

The HIV P24 Antigen Test is often used in combination with an HIV antibody test to improve the accuracy of HIV testing. The HIV antibody test can take several weeks to detect HIV antibodies in the blood, while the p24 antigen test can detect the virus much earlier.

Early detection and treatment of HIV can greatly improve outcomes for individuals living with the virus. If you are at risk of HIV infection, talk to your healthcare provider about getting an HIV P24 Antigen Test.
