HIV screening involves taking a blood sample, which is a standard process for detecting the presence of HIV antibodies or antigens in the bloodstream. It is a crucial step in taking control of your health. Early detection lowers the risk of transmission and significantly increases treatment efficacy.
What is HIV?
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) targets the white blood cells in the body thus weakening immunity. It increases the risk of contracting infections, certain cancers, and diseases like tuberculosis.
HIV can spread through bodily fluids such as blood, breast milk, semen, and vaginal secretions from an infected individual. It can, therefore, also go from a mother to her child. Additionally, HIV screening is often advised for expectant mothers in addition to other tests like OGTT and HBsAg.
