HIV Testing Options
At ManaPlus, we offer a range of confidential HIV testing services across our UK-wide network of private clinics. Because HIV takes time to become detectable, the right test depends on how long it has been since your potential exposure. This period is known as the “window” or “incubation” period.
If you’re unsure which HIV test is right for you, our experienced health advisors are here to help you choose the most accurate option based on your timeline.
Instant HIV Testing
Our instant HIV test is available at selected ManaPlus clinics. Results are delivered within 20 minutes, giving you rapid peace of mind.
This quick test detects:
-
p24 antigen – a protein produced shortly after HIV infection
-
HIV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies – your immune system’s response to the virus
This option is suitable from 26 days after exposure. You’ll receive a completed Rapid Test Results Report to take home, clearly documenting your results.
28-Day HIV DUO Test (4th Generation)
One of our most accurate and popular options, the 28-day HIV DUO test detects both:
-
HIV 1 and 2 antibodies
-
The p24 antigen
Carried out at our UKAS-accredited laboratory, this test is:
-
99.8% accurate at 28 days
-
99.9% accurate at 90 days post-exposure
It’s the preferred test for most people looking for early, laboratory-verified results.
10-Day HIV RNA PCR Test
Need to test even earlier? Our HIV RNA PCR test is ideal from just 10 days after exposure.
This highly sensitive test detects the genetic material (RNA) of the HIV virus before antibodies or antigens are produced.
Results are available one working day after your sample reaches the lab—perfect for early intervention and peace of mind.
Outdated HIV Tests: 90-Day 3rd Generation
ManaPlus no longer offers the older 90-day 3rd generation HIV test, as newer options like the 4th and 5th generation tests are faster and more accurate.
If you’ve been advised to retest after 3 months, our 28-day DUO test is still the most reliable and up-to-date option.
