Affordable, Confidential, and Accurate HIV Testing at National Diagnostics Lab

HIV testing is crucial for diagnosing and managing HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which affects millions globally. This virus weakens the immune system, increasing susceptibility to infections and diseases. Early detection through regular HIV testing is essential for effective treatment and maintaining health. HIV is primarily spread through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. Testing for HIV, which is a type of STD Test (Sexually Transmitted Disease), allows individuals to receive timely care and support to manage their condition.

The HSV Test is another important diagnostic tool in the realm of STDs. This test detects the presence of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) in the body, which can cause oral and genital herpes. Understanding your HSV status is crucial for managing symptoms and preventing transmission to others. Like the HIV test, the HSV Test provides essential information for effective treatment. It helps individuals make informed decisions about their sexual health.
