Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Do you have any health problems, any weight loss, tiredness, cough, loose stools etc. You can get ELISA test done now to look for HIV infection. For confirmation you can do Western Blot after that. Use condoms to prevent STDs.

hi,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
HIV Tridot is a simple and rapid screening test for HIV/AIDS
you can ask it in any hospital.
but the commonest test is ELISA
since tridot test is rapid, it is used for screening
The results of any screening test (ELISA / Rapid / Spot) are only presumptive and should not be reported without being validated by a supplemental test.
take care
