    Is fasting required before an HIV test?

    No, fasting is not required before an HIV test. The test analyzes either blood or oral fluid for HIV antibodies, antigens, or genetic material, and eating does not interfere with the results. If your HIV test is part of a comprehensive health screening that includes tests like glucose or cholesterol, fasting may be required for those additional tests, but it is unrelated to HIV detection.
