Overview:
The HIV Screening (ICT) test is a rapid diagnostic test that detects antibodies to the HIV virus in the blood or oral fluid using Immunochromatographic Technology (ICT). This test is commonly used for quick and initial screening for HIV infection. The ICT method offers results within a short time and is widely used for screening in various healthcare settings.
What it detects:
This test detects antibodies produced by the body in response to HIV infection. A positive result indicates that the individual has been exposed to HIV, but it does not confirm active infection. If the result is positive, further confirmatory tests (such as Western Blot or PCR) are recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
Who should get it:
Individuals who have been at risk of HIV exposure through unprotected sex, needle sharing, or other high-risk activities, and those experiencing symptoms suggestive of an HIV infection, should consider this test. It is also used for routine screening in high-risk populations or for general screening purposes in healthcare settings.

A blood or oral fluid sample is required for this test.
