What does meaning of hiv 1/2 antibodies neg. does mean the test checks for both antibodies&antigens as well? what is common test for hiv in pregnancy?

HIV testing: It is recommended that all women be tested for HIV during pregnancy. The test that is done is usually an Elisa antibody test. They usually test for HIV type 1 and HIV type 2. Again these are antibody tests-- not antigen tests.
