What Is an HIV-Duo Test (HIV1&2 Ab/P24 Ag Duo Test)?

The HIV-Duo test is an advanced 4th-generation screening test designed to detect Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The test helps detect both early signs of HIV infection and your body's immune response to the virus, enabling doctors to diagnose HIV sooner than older-generation tests. This comprehensive test uses a blood sample collected from a vein in your arm to provide accurate results.

Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about health tests, bookings, and reports.

There are three main types: antigen/antibody combination tests (like HIV-Duo), antibody-only tests, and nucleic acid tests. The HIV-Duo test is highly recommended, as it detects both antigens and antibodies, providing earlier and more accurate results than other tests.

For the HIV-Duo test, the optimal time is 18-45 days after potential exposure. This allows sufficient time for both P24 antigens and antibodies to develop to detectable levels, ensuring accurate results while minimising the window period.

No, fasting is not required for HIV testing. You can eat and drink normally before the test. The presence of HIV antigens and antibodies in your blood is not affected by food intake or fasting status.

Dehydration does not affect the accuracy of HIV test results for detecting antigens or antibodies. However, severe dehydration may make blood collection more difficult for the technician, so staying adequately hydrated is recommended for comfort during the procedure.
