1. HIV Spot
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system fight infections.

Yes, the HIV Spot Test is highly accurate in detecting HIV antibodies. However, a positive result requires confirmation through additional tests.
No, additional tests are needed to differentiate between HIV-1 and HIV-2, which are two different strains of the virus.
A positive result indicates possible HIV infection. Further confirmatory tests and counseling will be provided to determine the next steps for treatment and care.
2. EECP Center Mumbai
Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms of angina and heart failure.
EECP therapy uses inflatable cuffs wrapped around the legs to compress and decompress the blood vessels, promoting increased blood flow to the heart during the relaxation phase of the heartbeat.
Patients with chronic stable angina, heart failure, or those who are not suitable candidates for invasive procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may benefit from EECP therapy.
EECP therapy can help reduce angina symptoms, improve exercise tolerance, enhance the quality of life, and decrease the need for medication in some patients.
Each EECP session typically lasts about one hour and is usually conducted five days a week for a total of seven weeks.
3. BETA HCG
It is a test that measures the level of the hormone beta-HCG in the blood to confirm pregnancy and monitor its progress.
It can be taken to confirm pregnancy, monitor early pregnancy, or diagnose certain pregnancy-related conditions.
No special preparation is needed. Inform your provider about any medications or treatments you are undergoing.
Results are usually available within 24 hours after the blood sample is taken.
They indicate the presence and concentration of beta-HCG in your blood, which helps in confirming and monitoring pregnancy.
