Included Markers
1 markersThis fourth-generation HIV test screens for both antibodies and the p24 antigen, allowing for earlier detection compared to older testing methods. It provides a confidential and straightforward way to check your HIV status.
Why this test?
HIV can be present without any noticeable symptoms for an extended period. A fourth-generation test combines antibody and antigen detection, which may allow for earlier identification compared to antibody-only tests. Knowing your status can be a meaningful step in taking care of your health.
Who is this test for?
This test may be relevant for:
- People who have had unprotected sexual contact
- Those who want to know their HIV status
- Anyone who has been in a situation with potential exposure to HIV
- People entering a new relationship who want reassurance
What is tested?
This test screens for:
- HIV 1/2 Antibody + p24 Antigen
This fourth-generation test detects both antibodies produced by the immune system and the p24 antigen, a protein that may be present early in an HIV infection.
What can this test tell you?
The result is reported as reactive or non-reactive. A non-reactive result may indicate that no sign of HIV was detected at the time of testing. A reactive result may suggest exposure and can be discussed with a healthcare provider, who may recommend confirmatory testing.
Fourth-generation tests may detect HIV from approximately 2 weeks after potential exposure and are generally considered reliable from 6 weeks onward.
How is the sample collected?
A blood draw is taken at a certified sample point. The procedure is quick and handled with full discretion by trained professionals.
When is this test useful?
This test may be considered:
- After unprotected sexual contact
- If there has been a situation with potential exposure to HIV
- When entering a new relationship
- As a personal health check for peace of mind
What do the results mean?
A non-reactive result means no sign of HIV was detected at the time of sampling. A reactive result may suggest the presence of HIV antibodies or antigens and should be discussed with a healthcare provider for confirmatory evaluation.
Results are data points that are best interpreted with professional guidance.
Preparation
No specific preparation is needed. For the most reliable result, keep in mind the window period: fourth-generation tests may detect from approximately 2 weeks, and are generally considered reliable from 6 weeks after potential exposure.
What happens after the results?
Your results are made available securely through your personal account. If the result requires follow-up, a healthcare provider can help determine the appropriate next steps. All information is handled with the strictest confidentiality.

What We Test
This test includes 1 biomarkers to give you a comprehensive health picture.
The HIV Combo test is a fourth-generation test that detects both HIV p24 antigen and HIV antibodies simultaneously. This dual approach enables earlier detection compared to antibody-only tests, typically within two to six weeks after exposure.

Early HIV detection is critical for both individual health and public health. Starting antiretroviral therapy promptly after diagnosis can significantly improve long-term health outcomes and reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others. With modern treatment, people living with HIV can achieve an undetectable viral load, meaning the virus cannot be transmitted sexually. Early testing is a key step toward accessing this life-changing treatment.
