What type of hiv test does the military use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV testing: I am not certain which test the military uses but the most common HIV test is the antibody screening test or immunoassay. This tests for the antibodies that your body makes against HIV. The immunoassay can be done in a lab or as a rapid test at the testing site.
