**HIV Antigen Test (4th Generation)**
The HIV Antigen Test (4th Generation) is part of the 4th generation HIV testing, which detects both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen, a protein found in HIV. The p24 antigen can be detected earlier than antibodies, usually within 2-4 weeks after exposure.
- **Why is it important?** This test helps detect HIV infections sooner than older tests that only look for antibodies, allowing for earlier diagnosis and treatment.
- **What do the results mean?**
- **Negative:** No HIV antigen or antibodies were detected, indicating no infection. However, if exposure was recent, a follow-up test might be recommended.
- **Positive:** The p24 antigen or HIV antibodies were detected, suggesting an HIV infection. Additional testing will be needed to confirm the result.
Early detection through this test enables prompt treatment, which is important for managing the virus and reducing transmission risk.
