The multiplex early detection test can be administered soon after potential exposure to infected blood. It functions by amplifying minute amounts of genetic material in a sample to a detectable level, enabling the identification of even trace amounts of the target organism.
Multiplex testing stands out as the most accurate method currently available for detecting HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. Our City Walk-in Clinics offer transparent pricing for all our tests, backed by years of experience to ensure you are in the safest and most secure hands.
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.
This test can be taken soon after exposure to the HIV virus (minimum of 10 days), as early detection is key in preventing the spread of these infections and ensuring effective treatment.
Multiplex Testing uses a multiplex technology that allows simultaneous detection of multiple markers to detect and measure multiple antibodies, antigens, or nucleic acids in a single blood sample.
A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood, usually from a vein in the arm. The collected blood sample is processed in a laboratory where 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.
The Multiplex HIV and Hepatitis Early Detection Blood Test is beneficial for the following groups:
The benefits of getting a Multiplex Test include:
When you test positive for HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C using a Multiplex Early Detection Blood Test, several steps follow to confirm the diagnosis and begin appropriate management.
Additionally, a comprehensive medical evaluation will be carried out to assess your overall health, the stage of the infection, and any complications. This includes physical exams, additional blood tests, and possibly imaging studies.
A treatment plan will be created to ensure your infections and disease are successfully and effectively managed. Counselling services will be offered to help you understand the diagnosis, cope with the emotional impact, and manage any necessary lifestyle changes.
Ongoing monitoring through regular medical appointments will be necessary to track the progress of the infection, the effectiveness of treatment, and any potential side effects or complications.
Globally, approximately 39 million people are living with HIV, while about 254 million have chronic Hepatitis B and nearly 50 million have chronic Hepatitis C.
In the UK, 106 890 people are living with HIV. Estimates suggest that 180 000 individuals have chronic Hepatitis B infection, with approximately 62 600 living with chronic Hepatitis C.
Together, chronic Hepatitis B and C contribute to 1.3 million deaths worldwide annually due to liver disease and cancer.
