About test

What does HIV 1 & 2 Antibody Rapid (Chromatography) measure?

This rapid chromatography test detects antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) types 1 and 2. It may be used as a screening test when HIV infection is suspected, after possible exposure, during routine health evaluation, or as part of certain medical assessments. A reactive result may require confirmation with additional laboratory testing, as interpretation depends on timing of exposure, symptoms, medical history, and other clinical findings.
