When someone gets HIV, the body's immune system makes antibodies to try to fight the infection. Most HIV tests available today test for HIV antibodies. If HIV antibodies are present, it means that a person is infected with HIV. One type of HIV test detects the virus itself. This is called an RNA test. RNA testing is more expensive and much less common than antibody tests.
The most common is a laboratory antibodies test, which tests for the presence of HIV antibodies in the blood or oral fluid. This is usually conducted as a blood test, as antibody levels tend to be higher in the blood. The FDA approves two tests for home use: Home Access HIV-1 Test System and OraQuick In-home HIV test.
