How is the HIV test performed? What is the procedure? Is it very complicate?

HIV AIDS blood test is straightforward. A trained phlebotomist inserts a small needle into a vein which may cause a brief mild pinch. The draw usually takes less than five minutes after which the puncture site is covered with a bandage to protect it. The sample is then sent to a fully equipped laboratory with qualified staff and results are typically available within 24 hours so you can share them with your doctor promptly. If you have any concerns about the draw or how the results might be interpreted, it’s best to discuss them with the healthcare provider beforehand.
