The HIV 1 and 2 Antibodies (AIDS Screening) test is used to detect the presence of HIV infection. The test can be performed post 3 to 12 weeks of exposure. In the test, a blood sample or an oral sample is collected. In case of oral sample testing, the result can be obtained within 20 minutes. This can be done at home as well. The test is suggested in cases where the individual has consumed drugs through un-sanitized syringe, or has had unprotected sex with unknown partner. Early testing in above cases can help control sexual activity and help long term survival.
