HIV Testing

   Every year thousands of people are diagnosed with HIV, every state has testing centers, and they are spread out within the communities. The ordinary person does not know what the tests consists of. I think it would be a good idea to inform what they are about.
     I am no medical professional, but we all learned in high school what the immune system was about. An infection enters the body and the white blood cells attack it to eliminate the threat. HIV is a viral infection it has to attach to our DNA or RNA, when this happens, the cells form antibodies against the invading virus. It takes weeks to have enough antibodies that can be measured.
     So when someone suspects they could have HIV, they run specific tests that determine if a person is positive or not for the infection.
     The first test these centers do is called ELISA, this stands for Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. When viral antibodies are present they will appear, in the blood sample. The second test that is performed to confirm the ELISA is called Western Blot. This test will identify HIV precisely.
     These are the two preliminary tests done to diagnose HIV, if a person is positive for them, then they can be sure they have HIV. There are several other tests that are performed that are highly specialized and are used to determine the type of HIV the person has and the course of treatment that should be followed.
     In all we have to consider that as of 2013 there are 1.2 million Americans living with HIV and in 2014, there were 44,073 newly diagnosed persons, and the number grows every year. It is true that many don’t develop full blown AIDS, but being HIV positive is not something easy to live with.
