Earlier detection - Improved diagnosis and prevention
1.1 million people in the US are living with HIV—and 1 in 7 of them don’t know it. That’s why earlier detection plays such a critical role in prevention—and it’s a big reason why the CDC/ADPL issued guidelines calling for use of 4th gen testing algorithms. Fourth-generation tests simultaneously detect HIV-1 and 2 IgM/IgG antibodies, as well as the p24 antigen. Compared to third-generation HIV tests, which only detect antibodies, p24 antigen detection allows fourth generation assays to detect an acute HIV infection approximately 7-11 days earlier. 3,4.
