In our laboratory, we perform a blood test for the presence of the HIV virus. The type of test we perform:
HIV 1,2 Abs + P24 Ag

The blood test is taken by a qualified nurse with the full details of the patient including a photocopy of the ID card.
In the event that the blood test is positive or borderline (due to any viral disease that can be a distorted image), there is a need for another blood test two weeks later for further clarification in the laboratory (Ministry of Health procedure for certain clarification). All tests are subject to a fee. The chance of another blood test is small but exists.

The test is reliable and confidential and does not reach any medical institution.

The test is done in a licensed laboratory with all the required documents and certificates.
