⭐ What This Test Detects
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system — the part of your body that fights off illness and
infection. If left undetected and untreated, HIV can weaken the immune system over time and progress
to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
What it helps assess: This test detects HIV antibodies present in your oral fluid (saliva). When HIV enters
the body, the immune system produces antibodies in response. This test identifies those antibodies,
indicating whether HIV infection is likely.
Why it matters: HIV often causes no symptoms for months or even years after infection. Many people
living with HIV do not know they have it. Testing is the only reliable way to know your status — and early
detection makes a significant difference.
Early symptoms (if they occur at all): Some people experience flu-like symptoms 2–4 weeks after
infection:
•  Fever and chills
•  Fatigue
•  Sore throat
•  Swollen lymph nodes
•  Skin rash
•  Muscle aches
These symptoms typically resolve on their own and are easy to mistake for a common illness. After this
stage, HIV can remain silent for years.
Why early detection matters:
•  HIV is manageable with antiretroviral treatment (ART)
•  People on effective treatment can live long, healthy lives
• Treatment significantly reduces the risk of passing HIV to others
•  The earlier treatment begins, the better the long-term outcome
Who should test:
•  Anyone who has had unprotected sex
•  Anyone with a new or multiple sexual partners
•  Anyone who has never been tested for HIV

• Anyone who shares needles or syringes
•  Pregnant women (HIV can be passed to an unborn baby)
•  Anyone doing routine sexual health screening
•  Anyone who simply wants to know their status
