Answer: Nucleic Acid Test (NAT)

Step-by-step explanation:

With a NAT, the healthcare provider will draw blood from your vein and send the sample to a lab for testing. This test can tell if a person has HIV or how much virus is current in the blood (HIV viral load test). A NAT can detect HIV sooner than other types of tests.
