What Is HIV Testing?

HIV testing checks whether a person is infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that weakens the immune system and, if untreated, can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection.

Getting tested is the first and most important step in taking control of your health. Early detection allows for timely treatment, helps prevent complications, and significantly reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to others.

Who Should Get Tested?

HIV testing is recommended for everyone between the ages of 13 and 64, at least once in their lifetime. People at higher risk should test more often, ideally once a yearβ€”or every 3 to 6 months for sexually active gay and bisexual men.

You may be at higher risk if you:

  • Have unprotected vaginal or anal sex with someone who is HIV-positive or whose status you do not know

  • Inject drugs and share needles or other equipment

  • Exchange sex for money or drugs

  • Have another sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as syphilis or gonorrhea

  • Have hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or tuberculosis (TB)

  • Have a partner who has any of the above risk factors

Not sure whether you need a test? Our healthcare professionals are here to help you assess your risk and recommend the best testing schedule for you.

Why Is Testing Important?

The only way to know your HIV status is to get tested.

  • If you test negative, you can take advantage of powerful prevention tools such as PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), condoms, and regular screenings.

  • If you test positive, effective treatment is available. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) helps control the virus, protects your immune system, and reduces the risk of passing HIV to others to nearly zero when taken consistently.
    Knowing your status empowers you to protect your health and the health of those around you.

HIV Testing During Pregnancy

All pregnant women should be tested for HIV early in pregnancy. If HIV is detected and treated promptly, the chance of passing the virus to the baby can be reduced to less than 1%.

Even if treatment begins later in pregnancy or during labor, it can still make a significant difference. Testing and early intervention have dramatically reduced the number of children born with HIV worldwide.

Is My HIV Test Confidential?

Yes. At Andalab, your privacy is fully respected.

  • Anonymous testing: No personal information is recorded. Only you will know the result.

  • Confidential testing: Your result is part of your medical record but protected under strict privacy laws. It will not be shared without your consent.

Our team follows all legal and ethical standards to protect your information.
