HIV Test - Early Detection from 10 days

This is a rapid, early detection HIV test. It is a PCR blood test that checks for HIV-1 RNA.

Why do this test? 

This HIV test is more sensitive than the standard HIV test and can pick up an HIV-1 infection after 10 days of exposure. However, if it has been 45 days or more after exposure, then we would recommend doing the standard HIV test.  

Results: 

Results take 2 working days * and will be e-mailed to you with a doctor's explanation.

* Indicative timings only. Actual result may be earlier or slightly later.
