A member asked:

I had hiv test today and in paper they wrote hiv1 and hiv2, what are these tests?they will give me results in 15 days, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Two viruses: Hiv1 is the common virus that causes aids but there is a second virus hiv2 from a different origin for which a second test is needed. I hope that by now you've gotten results and that whatever they are, you'll remain proactive about your health.
