HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus which weakens and destroys the body's ability to fight infection and illness. HIV is the main cause of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). HIV is found in the body fluids of an infected person - including semen, vaginal and anal fluids, blood and breast milk.
The test looks for specific HIV antibodies that are produced shortly after infection. A p24 antigen test is also carried out to increase the chances of detecting an infection sooner after exposure.
This test also checks for hepatitis B and C. Hepatitis B and C are both infections of the liver caused by a virus that is spread through blood and body fluids. Hepatitis B can be passed from person to person through blood, semen, vaginal fluids and also by infected needles or syringes.
