HIV RNA Test Popular

*Please note that while most tests take 1 to 3 business days to return results, the HIV RNA test is a specialized test, therefore results may take 2 to 4 business days*

The HIV RNA Test is the gold-standard for early HIV detection. Unlike standard HIV tests that look for antibodies your body needs time to develop, the HIV RNA test detects the actual genetic material of the virus itself, allowing you to know your status sooner and with greater accuracy.

Why Choose the HIV RNA Test?

• Detects the virus directly
• Identifies HIV-1 RNA (the most common strain in the U.S.) in your blood—not just antibodies.
• The earliest FDA-approved HIV detection test
• This is the only FDA-approved early detection option on the market.
• Industry-leading accuracy
• Faster peace of mind because it detects the actual virus, significantly reducing the waiting period compared to a 4th-generation HIV test.
• Early detection allows for faster access to treatment, which can greatly improve long-term health.

What Is HIV?

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a sexually transmitted infection that attacks the immune system and, without treatment, can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). HIV spreads through sexual contact and blood-to-blood exposure, including intravenous drug use.

Common Early HIV Symptoms

Many people do not experience symptoms for weeks, or even years. In fact, according to the CDC, nearly 40% of new HIV infections come from individuals who don’t know they’re positive.

Early symptoms can resemble the flu and may include:

• Sore throat
• Fever
• Rash
• Headache
• Nausea or vomiting
• Chills or night sweats
• Joint or muscle pain
• Diarrhea
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Mouth or genital ulcers

Without treatment, HIV can weaken the immune system over time and develop into AIDS.

Possible AIDS-Related Symptoms

• Unexplained weight loss
• Oral thrush (white coating on tongue or mouth)
• Persistent skin rashes
• Chronic fatigue
• Swelling of lymph nodes
• Long-lasting diarrhea
• Recurring fever
• Headaches, confusion, or memory issues
• Night sweats
• Shortness of breath

Is There a Cure for HIV?

There is currently no cure, but modern treatments are highly effective. People diagnosed with HIV and started on antiretroviral therapy (ART) can live long, healthy lives.

Knowing your status early is the key as it allows treatment to begin sooner and helps prevent the virus from progressing.

Who Should Consider This Test?

You may benefit from the HIV RNA test if:

• You have had multiple or new sexual partners
• You are entering a new relationship and both partners want a comprehensive check
• You have had unprotected sex and want broad testing in one visit
• You want STD screenings without scheduling a doctor’s visit first
