An antigen-antibody screening test. The HIV antigen-antibody test is a blood test that looks for both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen (a protein on the surface of the virus) in the blood. This type of test is highly accurate and can detect HIV infection earlier than tests that only look for antibodies.

In general, antigen-antibody screening tests can detect HIV infection as early as 2 to 4 weeks after exposure. During this time, the body starts producing HIV antigens and antibodies, which can be detected by the test.

If you have previously been diagnosed with HIV or syphilis, you should not take an antigen-antibody test for the same infection because these tests are designed to detect the presence of antigens and antibodies. Once a person is diagnosed with an infection, their immune system will typically produce antibodies specific to that infection, which could result in a false-positive result.

It is a TPA test. TPA (Treponema pallidum) is a bacteria that causes syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection. TPA Syphilis testing is a blood test that detects the presence of antibodies produced by the body in response to TPA bacteria, which can help diagnose syphilis infection.

STD stands for sexually transmitted disease and refers to an infectious disease passed from one person to another during sexual activity. STI stands for sexually transmitted infection and is a newer term used to describe the same conditions but focuses on the infection’s presence rather than the disease’s manifestation. While the use of the acronym STI is becoming more commonly used, STD is still frequently used because it is more well-known and familiar to many people.
