Press conference on behalf the observance of the World AIDS Day 2025: Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response. HIV is diagnosed through blood or saliva tests that detect antibodies, antigens, or the virus itself. Initial testing is often done with antibody or antigen/antibody tests, while a nucleic acid test (NAT) (also called a PCR test) is used to detect the virus directly in cases of potential recent exposure or acute infection. If a test is positive, further blood tests will be ordered to confirm the diagnosis, monitor the infection, and assess overall health. Watch the UNAIDS Press Conference: World AIDS Day 2025 01:11:47
