Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

Think of HIV serology testing as your body's advanced security system check – it's designed to detect whether you've been exposed to HIV by looking for both the virus itself and your immune system's response to it. This fourth-generation test is like having a sophisticated alarm system that can spot intruders (the virus) and also detect whether your security team (immune system) has already sprung into action, giving you answers much faster than older tests could provide.

HIV is a virus that specifically targets your immune system's key defenders, gradually weakening your body's ability to fight off infections if left untreated. The beauty of this comprehensive test is that it can detect HIV as early as 2-4 weeks after exposure by simultaneously checking for antibodies your body produces and a viral protein called p24 antigen. Early detection is incredibly important because modern HIV treatment can reduce the virus to undetectable levels, allowing people to live healthy, normal lives while also eliminating the risk of passing the virus to partners – making this test a powerful tool for both personal health and community wellbeing.

Symptoms

Essential for sexually active individuals, people with high-risk exposures, those with multiple partners, healthcare workers, or anyone wanting to know their HIV status for health and prevention purposes.

Questions

  • Fourth-generation tests are over 99% accurate and can detect HIV as early as 2-4 weeks after infection, significantly reducing the window period compared to older antibody-only tests.
  • When HIV treatment reduces viral load to undetectable levels (maintained for at least 6 months), there is no risk of sexual transmission to partners, even without condoms.
  • Annual testing for most sexually active adults, every 3-6 months for high-risk individuals, and after any potential exposure. Discuss frequency with your healthcare provider based on your risk factors.
  • Immediate linkage to HIV specialist care for treatment evaluation. Modern antiretroviral therapy is highly effective, and most people achieve undetectable viral loads within 3-6 months of starting treatment.
  • Risk is lower than anal or vaginal sex but not zero, especially with cuts or sores in the mouth. Using barriers like condoms or dental dams further reduces risk.
  • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is daily medication that prevents HIV infection in high-risk individuals. It's 99% effective when taken consistently and is recommended for people with HIV-positive partners or high-risk behaviors.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Maintain confidentiality and inform healthcare provider of recent high-risk exposures, current medications, and any symptoms. Blood sample collected by trained phlebotomist at collection centre. Fasting not required.

After the test

Reactive results require immediate confirmatory testing and linkage to HIV specialist care for treatment evaluation. Non-reactive results with recent high-risk exposure may require repeat testing. Counseling provided for prevention strategies and risk reduction.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show reactive (positive) or non-reactive (negative) for HIV. Reactive results require confirmatory testing with Western blot or HIV RNA. Non-reactive results indicate no HIV detected, though recent infection within window period may not be detected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most collection centres accept walk-ins. Some may require a booking - check details when you click on your chosen location.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)
