Blood levels of P24 antigen are high in the first few weeks after infection, meaning the test can detect infection in the earliest stages.
The test for HIV antibodies checks for antibodies to the virus in your blood. Antibodies are proteins that the immune system produces when it is trying to fight off an infection; different antibodies are produced to fight different infections.
The HIV infection produces its own proteins, known as antigens, and the body’s antibodies are designed to fit these antigens perfectly – like a key into a lock. The antibodies bind to the antigens in a bid to destroy them, so when you have an infection trying to take hold in the body, you will also have the corresponding antibodies trying to fight it.
The HIV Antibody & P24 Antigen test is crucial for detecting Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), a virus that attacks the immune system and can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) if not treated. HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sex, shared needles, and from mother to child during childbirth. The test detects early markers of HIV: p24 antigen, present shortly after infection, and antibodies that the body develops in response. This dual approach enables early detection, vital for prompt treatment and reducing virus transmission. Early treatment can significantly improve quality of life and longevity for those with HIV.
