AIDS / HIV: When in doubt, test yourself!

When we took a risk, or when you want to know where we stand in relation to HIV testing is the only solution. Taking a simple blood to know. Learn everything you need to know on this review in five questions.

1-The test is the only way to know if one is HIV?

Yes,after HIV infection, it can take several years before the onset of the disease. Porting of HIV can remain hidden for a long time without knowing if we did not do this test. Finally, know that if you are HIV positive then early allow for appropriate treatment at the right time.

2- Where do a test?

This test may be prescribed by a doctor, made in anonymous testing centers, free Planning Centers of Maternal and Child and Family Planning Centers. These centers and anonymous screenings free (CDAG) are also authorized to perform screening for hepatitis B and C.

3- How much will it cost?

The cost of testing includes the price of the consultation, the price of the act of sampling and the laboratory test. The laboratory test is 100% reimbursed by Social Security. For consultation and taking, the reimbursement will be partially offset by social security, and in part by insurance when it is. For tests in CDAG, the test is, of course, free and anonymous.

4- When should you take a test?

In case of doubt, it is always good to talk to a doctor who will determine whether this is the time to do a blood test. Note that once a risk, contamination can be detected three months later. A test performed too early could lead to a negative test, while the virus is present. In this case, the doctor may ask you to return later for testing. Small detail, it is not necessary to be fasting for a test. The blood test can be done at any time of day.

5- These tests are really reliable?

Strict rules apply to these tests. Firstly, two screening tests (ELISA tests) are performed. If they are both negative, it means that we have not been infected (if one has not taken a risk in the last three months). If either or both tests are positive, the laboratory will carry out a third test (Western Blot test) which will confirm or refuse the presence of the virus. If the Western Blot test is negative, it means we have not been contaminated (provided they have taken no risk in the last 3 months). When the test is positive, the doctor will perform a second blood sample is taken to control the outcome.If the test does not provide an answer, a second test may be done a few days later.
