About the Test
This test detects the HIV p24 antigen, a viral protein that appears in the blood soon after infection, often before HIV antibodies develop. Because p24 rises early, it helps shorten the window period and can identify a recent infection sooner than antibody testing alone. It is commonly used for early screening after a possible exposure and as part of combined HIV testing.
What is it? A blood test detecting the HIV p24 antigen, sometimes included in a combined HIV antigen/antibody or HIV combo test.
