1. HBV DNA VIRAL LOAD
The HBV DNA Viral Load Test measures the amount of Hepatitis B virus DNA in the blood, indicating the level of viral replication and infection severity.
The test is used to confirm active Hepatitis B infection, assess disease severity, monitor treatment response, and guide treatment decisions.
No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent health issues.
Results are usually available within 2 to 4 days after the test.
A high viral load indicates a higher quantity of Hepatitis B virus in the blood, suggesting more active infection and potentially greater disease severity.
2. 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.
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.
3. DENGUE NS1
A positive result indicates the presence of Dengue virus NS1 antigen, suggesting acute Dengue infection.
No, the Dengue NS1 test specifically detects Dengue virus NS1 antigen and is not useful for diagnosing other viral infections.
No, the Dengue NS1 test does not differentiate between different Dengue virus serotypes. Additional tests may be required for serotype identification.
The Dengue NS1 test can detect infection within the first 1 to 7 days of symptom onset, when NS1 antigen levels are typically high.
Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation, as additional tests or clinical assessment may be necessary.
