Does HIV p24 Ag +IgG (Elisa) test check for both HIV 1 and HIV 2?

 Yes, the HIV p24 antigen + IgG antibody test typically checks for both HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections.

The p24 antigen is a protein that is produced by the HIV virus early after infection, while IgG antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to HIV infection. This combination test helps in the detection of both HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections, making it a commonly used diagnostic tool for HIV screening.
