Learn About The Tests – HIVAZ.org
There’s a lot to know, but here’s all you really need to know. An HIV screening looks for either antibodies or parts of the virus. If a screening spots anything suspicious and returns a positive result, you’ll need to get a follow-up test to confirm your HIV status.
Be open and honest with your testing provider about any recent possible exposures. This helps your provider choose the most appropriate test.
