When someone gets HIV, the body's immune system makes antibodies to try to fight the infection. Most HIV tests available today test for HIV antibodies. If HIV antibodies are present, it means that a person is infected with HIV. One type of HIV test detects the virus itself. This is called an RNA test. RNA testing is more expensive and much less common than antibody tests.
This is called the OraQuick Advance Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test. It was the first available test that could provide results in 20 minutes using oral fluid, a finger-stick sample of blood, or plasma. Rapid HIV testing is now highly recommended and has become the mainstay of most HIV screening programs.
