Screening for AIDS
I am a 23 year woman living in Delhi. I am going to get married soon and as a preventive checkup I want to see if I am HiV negative or not. Basically I just want to check if I have AIDS. I have seen many path labs offering HIV test. But I am not sure what specific test is done to check for HIV. Can you tell me the name of specific test done to screen AIDS
