Order HIV 4th Generation Antigen/Antibody TestThe HIV 4th Generation Antigen/Antibody Test is a laboratory blood test that detects both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen.

About HIV 4th Generation Antigen/Antibody Test in Clovis
Understanding what the fourth-generation test measures helps clarify why it is a standard tool for HIV screening.
The test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to HIV, as well as the p24 antigen, a viral protein that appears in the blood soon after infection. Third-generation tests detect only antibodies, which the body may take longer to produce.
By combining antibody and antigen detection, the fourth-generation assay narrows the window period between potential exposure and the time a test can reliably show a result. This makes it useful for routine screening and for evaluating recent possible exposures.
A reactive or positive result from this test is typically followed by additional confirmatory testing to establish a definitive diagnosis. A non-reactive result generally indicates that no evidence of HIV antibodies or p24 antigen was found in the sample at the time of collection.
