Screening And Diagnosis

HIV testing is carried out on a voluntary basis with appropriate pre-test and post-test counselling. HIV is diagnosed by testing your blood for the presence of antibodies to the virus.

Most often, a simple blood test known as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) screening test is conducted. The results of HIV tests are kept confidential.
