Terrence Higgins Trust has started offering a new type of rapid result HIV test at its clinics which can detect the virus just 1 month after the date of infection. Previous tests were only reliable 3 months after exposure to the virus.
The finger prick blood test will be used at THT’s Fastest clinics and results are normally available in approximately 20 minutes. If the test result is positive, staff would always advise another test is taken, just to confirm the diagnosis.
Dr Michael Brady, Medical Director at THT said “If you’re worried you’ve been exposed to HIV waiting three months for an accurate test result can be agonising. Technology has now moved on, so we’re able to offer reliable tests earlier. If you think you’ve been at risk or you’re in a high risk group you should consider getting a test. It’s quick, confidential and could put your mind at rest.”
