HIV 1 & 2 Antibody (4th Gen) Test

LetsBeSafe's FDA-approved HIV 1 & 2 Antibody (4th Generation) test provides comprehensive screening for both HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies as well as the p24 antigen. The p24 antigen is a protein found on the surface of the virus and is one of the earliest indicators of HIV infection, appearing before antibodies are produced. This advanced 4th generation assay has a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 99%, delivering highly accurate results you can rely on. The inclusion of the p24 antigen allows for earlier detection of HIV compared to standard antibody-only tests. If your initial test is positive, a confirmation test will be completed on the same blood sample at no additional cost to verify the diagnosis. Getting tested with LetsBeSafe is a convenient and proactive step in managing your health and preventing the spread of HIV.

The 4th generation test can detect HIV as early as 18-45 days after exposure, much sooner than standard antibody-only tests.
