The multiplex early detection, or PCR test, is the test that can be taken soonest after potential exposure. Multiplex testing is the most accurate method available for HIV, Hepatitis B and C.
The multiplex test is a blood test, and is sometimes also referred to as a ‘PCR’ test (polymerase chain reaction), or NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification), which works by analysing DNA to detect tiny amounts of viral genetic material. It is the test that can be taken soonest after exposure to the HIV virus (a minimum of 10 days), as early detection is key in preventing the spread of these infections and ensuring effective treatment. Multiplex testing is particularly beneficial among sexually active populations, where the risk of exposure to multiple STIs is higher.
You will need to come in so that we can take a blood sample. Trace amounts of DNA from the sample are then amplified and compared to the virus’ own unique DNA sequence.
The test is highly sensitive and highly accurate, and your results will be available within a week.
For comprehensive Multiplex Early Detection testing, especially if you suspect exposure to multiple STIs, our clinic can provide the necessary screening. Schedule your appointment online or by phone to receive a thorough health evaluation.
