The HIV-1 and HIV-2 Qualitative Test is the standard screening blood test used to detect the presence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. HIV is a retrovirus that attacks the immune system, leading to AIDS if untreated.
This assay is typically a fourth-generation test
HIV Antibodies (IgG and IgM): Immune response to the virus (HIV-1 and HIV-2).
The term "Qualitative" means the result is simply reported as Reactive (Positive) or Non-Reactive (Negative), indicating the presence or absence of the virus markers above a certain threshold.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL Accredited Lab in Delhi, including our location near Dwarka, we prioritize confidentiality and use highly reliable fourth-generation assays for accurate HIV screening.
