An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart to identify heart rhythm issues, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.

No special preparation is usually required. You may be asked to remove any metal objects or wear a hospital gown for ease of access to the chest area.

You can eat and drink normally before the test. However, avoid consuming large amounts of caffeine or alcohol as they might affect the results.

ECGs are very safe and non-invasive. There are no known risks or side effects associated with the test.

In most cases, you can continue taking your medications as prescribed. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking.

Call emergency services immediately and provide first aid if possible. Do not move the patient unless necessary to prevent further injury.

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.
