HIV, Hepatitis C and Syphilis rapid blood testing

The tests will take a tiny portion of blood through fingertips and the result will be available in 20 minutes.

HIV antigen and antibody test

Positive (infected) and negative (non-infected) accuracy are 99.72% and 100% respectively. We use the p24 Combo HIV rapid test, which can detect SOME new HIV cases within 15-28 days after infection. However, as it cannot detect all new HIV infections within this period, we suggest people can also get tested 90 days after suspected infection may have happened to be sure of one’s HIV status.
