Today, there is no vaccine to prevent HIV infection. However, there are treatments so that an infected person can significantly reduce the risk of transmission. In Spain, it is estimated that there are between 130,000 and 160,000 people with HIV, of which between 25% and 30% are not diagnosed.
It is a complementary instrument to conventional detection services. It allows people to check in a practical and confidential way if they are HIV carriers, following possible exposure to HIV that has occurred more than 3 months earlier.
If the result is positive, and after confirming this result in a laboratory, the person can receive health care and treatment. The earlier treatment begins, the more similar life expectancy will be to that of the general population. In fact, the mortality of HIV-infected men undergoing antiretroviral processing for more than three years is comparable to the mortality of men in the general population.
If the most recent risk of exposure occurred more than three months ago and a negative result is obtained, it means that the person is probably not infected with HIV.
