Description
To detect the presence of p24 antigen in the blood, an HIV p24 antigen blood test in Dehradun is conducted. The p24 antigen represents a protein component of HIV, and in the initial phases of HIV infection, it can be found in the bloodstream. In many cases, HIV may lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). This test in Dehradun works effectively when the level of the antigens is highest somewhere around the first few weeks after infection. Additionally, the HIV p24 Antigen Test can serve as a supplemental test in Dehradun to confirm HIV status even at later stages of infection.
The HIV p24 Antigen Test is often used alongside an HIV antibody test in Dehradun to make HIV test in Dehraduning more accurate. The HIV antibody test in Dehradun may take a few weeks to detect HIV antibodies in the blood, but the p24 antigen test in Dehradun can spot the virus much earlier. Detecting HIV early is crucial because it allows for timely treatment, significantly improving outcomes for people with it. If one believes he/she might be at risk of HIV infection, it's essential to have a discussion with a healthcare provider about getting an HIV p24 Antigen Test.
The HIV p24 Antigen test in Dehradun results are reported as either "Reactive" or "Non-Reactive." When the test in Dehradun is first done, it calculates a cutoff value to determine this. If the result is "Reactive," the test in Dehradun is repeated twice using the same sample to be sure. The p24 antigen test in Dehradun sample would be considered negative if the initial result is "Non-Reactive," or if it is "Reactive," but both repeat test in Dehraduns show "Non-Reactive" results. However, if at least two results are "Reactive" (repeatedly reactive), it suggests the presence of the p24 antigen, and a confirmation test in Dehradun called the neutralisation assay is needed to be sure.
