Rapid HIV Test

A Rapid HIV test is a quick blood or oral fluid test that detects the presence of HIV antibodies, the proteins your body makes to fight the virus. It provides results within about 20 minutes, allowing for fast screening. While highly accurate, a positive result typically requires confirmatory testing. This test is useful for early detection, helping individuals know their status and seek appropriate care or prevention measures promptly. It is widely used in clinics, community health centers, and at home, making HIV testing more accessible and convenient.
