I want to do an HIV test just to check that nothing happened in the past. It says HIV 1, 2, PCR. What exactly should I choose?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If no recent exposure, a regular screening test is enough. HIV 1 & 2 Antigen/Antibody (4th Gen) is best for general checkup. HIV PCR is for early detection (within 10 to 14 days of risk) not needed if you had no recent exposure. PCR is expensive and used in special cases (early high risk or newborns).
Dr. Shaik Suggests...
Take a HIV 1 AND 2 ANTIBODIES Test

View allMy last period lasted 12 days, and now I am 8 days late. I have taken two pregnancy tests, both negative. However, I have been vomiting 9 out of the last 11 days, and certain smells trigger nausea. My periods are usually regular, except for last month and this month. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I take another pregnancy test or see a doctor?
