HIV

What Does This Test Check?

This test looks for antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which attacks the immune system. A result indicates whether you have been exposed to HIV, typically detecting antibodies that develop several weeks after infection.

Medichecks offers this HIV test for £49 as the only provider on the page. With no other option shown, there is nothing else to compare here.

A reactive result does not by itself confirm HIV and must be confirmed with a follow up laboratory test. If you were at risk recently you may still be within the window before antibodies appear, so an early negative result does not rule out infection and you should discuss timing with your GP or a sexual health clinic.
