DNA/ PCR Test- Early HIV Detection

The advantage of choosing the DNA PCR Test-Early HIV Detection is that it can detect the virus as soon as two to three weeks after exposure.

The standard HIV test is detects the antibodies the body makes to fight the disease. It can take anywhere from two weeks to six months for the body to produce the antibodies, so it was suggested you wait a minimum of three months before having the antibody test done. The DNA PCR eliminates the waiting period and saves you months of stress and anxiety.

PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. This early HIV detection test works by analyzing a small sequence of DNA and amplifying it. Amplification means that it will copy the DNA so there is more available to test. The DNA PCR-Early HIV Detection method takes only a few hours to perform.

A negative test result shows lack of evidence of HIV at the time of testing. Positive results should always be followed up with additional testing due to a small chance of a false positive reading.
