The htlv-i/ii antibody test is the most commonly used test and can detect the presence of htlv antibodies in the blood. The window period for this test is typically around four to eight weeks after exposure to the virus.

The hiv 3rd generation test is a sensitive and accurate test that detects the presence of hiv antibodies in the blood.
