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.

Anyone at risk of HIV exposure or needing routine screening should undergo this test. This includes sexually active individuals with multiple partners, intravenous drug users, and individuals with potential exposure through blood transfusions or needle-sharing.

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.

Mandibular fixation surgery repairs fractures or dislocations of the jawbone using plates, screws, or wires to stabilize the bone.

A positive result indicates past infection with the Dengue virus or successful vaccination against Dengue.

No, additional tests, such as Dengue IgM or PCR, may be required to differentiate recent infections from past ones.

No, the Dengue IgG test is not suitable for diagnosing acute Dengue infection. IgG antibodies appear later in the course of infection.

Dengue IgG antibodies can remain detectable in the bloodstream for months to years after infection or vaccination.

A negative result suggests no detectable Dengue IgG antibodies. If symptoms persist or there is a recent exposure, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
