Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am getting married in a few months. I had a sexual relationship with many stranger girls in my past. I have had no sexual relationships for the past one and a half years. I want to do an HIV test as a preventive measure before marriage. What is the name of the HIV test, and how long will it take? What are the available treatments?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I suggest HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) antibody tests such as ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and HIV P24 antigen test. If both the test results are negative, you need not worry.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
