A positive test result means there are traces of HIV in your body. Health care providers never diagnose HIV based on a single test result. If you had a rapid test, get a standard lab test to confirm it. If you had a lab test, more detailed tests of your blood can confirm your diagn...
this test. If the test gives negative or non-reactive result, it means you’re not infected. If it gives a positive result that means you’re likely infected with HIV. Although some people can have a false-positive result. It is highly recommended that you perform a follow-up test if ...

HIV testing is performed on blood (most common) and saliva, depending on the type of test. It is important to know that there is a “window period” between getting infected with HIV and when it becomes detectable. This means that depending on the type of test, HIV may not be detectable...
infection [32]. Specificity refers to the percentage of individuals who are correctly identified as not having disease if the person does not have HIV infection. A very high specificity is desirable for the confirmation test as a reactive result means the person is suffering from HIV infection [...
These reactive species can interact with cellular components through non-enzymatic interactions such as glycation, leading to advanced glycation end products. These products further bind to pattern recognition receptors, known as receptors for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE). RAGE stimulation activates...
However, HIVposEVs-treated mice had increased serum levels of C-reactive protein compared to the other treatment groups (Supplemental Figure S1). These data indicate that EVs, rather than other fractions of plasma, serve as carriers of the pro-atherosclerotic signals in PLHIV. In addition, HIV...
If the preliminary test is reactive, the result is considered a preliminary positive. To confirm the result, the lab will use a more sophisticated test called the HIV differentiate assay and possibly the NAT. If the confirmatory tests are both nonreactive, you can be assured with a high level...
. Non-reactive results will be considered negative, and reactive results will be confirmed using the First Response Kit (Murex HIV1–2-O, Abbot/Murex, Germany). If the confirmatory test results are nonreactive, results will be recorded as inconclusive. A client with an inconclusive result will...
Detect HIV-1 infection, including acute infection; confirm HIV-1 infection in individuals with repeatedly reactive initial results, including those with nonreactive HIV antibody–based supplemental test results; detect HIV-1 infection in infants up to 18 months of agea...
