Individual tests

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is often symptomless, or the symptoms are indistinguishable from other mild illnesses. People with EBV infection usually get better in two to four weeks. After getting an EBV infection, the virus becomes inactive in your body but may sometimes reactivate. IgM antibodies indicate present infection, while positive IgG shows past exposure to EBV.

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is seen as “good” cholesterol because it helps absorb cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High HDL cholesterol levels mean you have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It weakens a person’s immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. There is currently no effective cure for HIV. However, with proper medical care, the condition can be controlled. When people with HIV do not get treatment, they typically progress through three stages. Stage 1, the most contagious phase, involves acute infection with flu-like symptoms. Stage 2 is a chronic infection with no symptoms, but HIV is still transmissible at this stage. Stage 3 is Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the most severe stage of HIV infection, with an increasing number of opportunistic infections or other serious illnesses.
Quantitative HIV-1 RNA is a quantitative test for RNA of the human immunodeficiency virus, belonging to the HIV-1 group. Quantitative HIV-1 RNA aids in diagnosis, treatment monitoring, disease prognosis and assessment of treatment response to antiretroviral drugs by measuring qualitative HIV-1 RNA in plasma.
Homocysteine is an amino acid that your body uses to make proteins. Normally, vitamin B12, B6, and folic acid (also called folate or vitamin B9) quickly break down homocysteine and change it into other substances your body needs. High levels of homocysteine in your blood may indicate that this process isn't working properly or that you lack certain B vitamins. This test can suggest vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid deficiency, or assess risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
