What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're currently taking PrEP (either the daily pill or the injectable shot) and need routine HIV monitoring while on prophylaxis. It's also useful if you've recently used PrEP and need to confirm your HIV status before continuing or restarting the medication. Because PrEP can sometimes mask early infection on standard tests, this combination approach gives a more complete picture.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what each value means and whether it falls in the normal range. If everything comes back negative, you can continue your PrEP routine as planned and simply retest at your next scheduled interval. If either result raises a concern, the report will explain the next steps, and you should seek medical care right away for further evaluation. You can download a standard lab report anytime and use the trends feature to track your results over multiple testing cycles.

What is HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and why does routine testing matter?

PrEP is medication that people at risk of HIV take to significantly lower their chances of getting infected, either as a daily pill or a periodic injection. Because no prevention method is 100% effective, routine testing while on PrEP catches any breakthrough infection early, when treatment works best. Regular testing also makes sure the medication is still the right choice for you and helps guide any adjustments to your prevention plan.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. You'll get a notification as soon as your report is available in your account. Because this test combines two different lab methods, it can take a bit longer than a single quick test, so plan accordingly if you're on a specific PrEP dosing schedule.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who has taken oral PrEP in the last 3 months or received a cabotegravir injection in the past 12 months. It's also appropriate for people who want a thorough HIV status check before starting or continuing PrEP, since standard antibody tests alone might not catch a very recent infection in someone already on prophylaxis. If you fall into either of these groups, this combined screen gives a clearer answer.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Most people on PrEP won't have obvious symptoms, which is exactly why routine testing matters. That said, flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, swollen glands, or unusual fatigue within a few weeks of a potential exposure can sometimes signal an early infection and are a good reason to test sooner rather than waiting for your next scheduled check. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical care promptly in addition to getting tested.

How can I naturally support my immune system while on PrEP?

While no natural remedy replaces PrEP or HIV testing, keeping your immune system strong can help your body respond well overall. Eating a balanced diet, getting consistent sleep, managing stress, and avoiding excessive alcohol all support a healthy immune response. Staying on schedule with your PrEP doses and testing intervals remains the most important step for prevention.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result on either part of this test means the lab detected signs of HIV, either through antibodies/antigens or through viral genetic material (RNA). This doesn't mean panic is necessary, but it does mean you should seek medical care right away to confirm the result and discuss treatment options, since early treatment leads to the best outcomes. Your PrEP regimen would also need to be reassessed based on this result.

How often should I retest while on PrEP?

Testing frequency depends on your specific PrEP regimen; people on the daily pill typically test every 3 months, while those on the injectable version may follow a different schedule tied to their injection dates. Staying consistent with these intervals is one of the best ways to catch any issues early. Check your PrEP care plan or product confirmation for the specific interval that applies to you.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your result is anything other than a clear negative, don't wait — seek medical care as soon as possible to get a confirmatory evaluation. Continue to avoid unprotected exposures in the meantime. Keep a copy of your lab report handy, as it will be useful for any follow-up testing or evaluation.
