Find Peace of Mind with Definitive HIV Testing
We understand that waiting for HIV test results can be one of the most anxious times in anyone’s life. That’s why we offer the Western Blot test – the gold standard in HIV confirmation that provides the certainty you need to move forward with confidence.
Understanding the HIV Western Blot Test
The Western Blot test is the most reliable method for confirming HIV infection. Unlike rapid tests that screen for antibodies, the Western Blot specifically identifies individual HIV proteins, providing definitive confirmation with 99.9% accuracy. This test is typically used after a positive screening test to confirm the diagnosis, ensuring you receive accurate information about your health status.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art technology and follows strict quality control measures to deliver results you can trust completely.
