Solution
The correct option is A ELISA AIDS takes anywhere between 2 to 12 years to manifest after the HIV infection. But the presence of HIV can be detected early using ELISA or Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay test. This test is designed to detect the presence of viral capsid proteins in the blood.
