Contact us for information and support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a positive HIV test result mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">A positive or reactive test result indicates that the test has reacted to something in your blood that needs further investigation. This HIV test result is considered preliminary and a final diagnosis cannot be made based on it \u2013 you need to do confirmatory tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can an HIV test result be false positive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Falsely reactive HIV test results are very rare, but are possible due to the test reacting to another infection or substance. Common causes are: recent vaccination against influenza or hepatitis B, autoimmune diseases, Lyme disease, sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, mononucleosis, pregnancy, administration of gamma globulin and immunoglobulin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where should I take a confirmatory HIV test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It is best to do the confirmation tests in health institutions that have the most precise technologies and a lot of experience in performing such tests. First of all, in HIV departments of infectious disease clinics in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Ni\u0161 and Kragujevac and in HIV counseling centers at institutes for public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long will it take for me to receive a confirmatory HIV test result?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In most public health institutions, the result of the confirmatory test will be ready the next day, and in some cases within a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If I don\u2019t have health insurance, can I get a confirmatory HIV test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">With a preliminary positive HIV test result, you will be able to take a confirmatory test in reference health institutions without health insurance. If the doctor diagnoses HIV infection after the confirmatory tests, with the diagnosis report you can exercise your right to health insurance in order to start treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>Published with support of<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-591\" height=\"85\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ.jpg 300w, https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>priredio: Bratislav Proki\u0107, novembar 2022.recenzija: Prof. dr Biljana Koci\u0107, epidemiolog,Institut<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1447","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
