Parameters:
An HIV test detects the presence of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the body. It helps determine if someone is infected with the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). There are different types of HIV tests, including antibody tests, antigen tests, and PCR tests, which identify the virus or immune response.
Doctors recommend an HIV test in the following cases:
Routine Screening: For individuals engaging in unprotected sex or sharing needles.
Post-Exposure Testing: If someone has had potential exposure to HIV through blood, sexual contact, or needle use.
Before Surgery or Pregnancy: To ensure early detection and prevention of transmission.
Unexplained Symptoms: If a person experiences prolonged fever, weight loss, night sweats, or swollen lymph nodes.
