HIV 1+O/2 Antibodies & HIV 1 p24 Antigen PARAMETER RESULTS METHOD HIV 1+O/2 Antibodies and HIV 1 p24 Antigen, Serum Nonreactive ECLIA Test specifications: 1) ECLIA: Senstivity 100%, Specificity 99.63% 2) CMIA: Analytical sensitivity of < 50 pg/mL to HIV-1 p24 Ag, Specificity >/= 99.5% Intended Use: 1) The HIV Ag/Ab (Generation IV) assay is for the simultaneous qualitative detection of HIV p24 antigen and antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and/or type 2 (HIV-1/HIV-2) in human serum or plasma. 2) This assay is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of HIV-1/HIV-2 infection and as a screening test for donated blood and plasma. 3) An HIV Ag/Ab result does not distinguish between the detection of HIV p24 antigen, HIV-1 antibody, or HIV-2 antibody. Clinical Significance: 1) Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is the cause of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) as well as symptomatic disease prior to development of AIDS. 2) HIV transmission is due to direct contact with infected body fluids; primarily blood, semen, vaginal and cervical secretions, breast milk and amniotic fluid. 3) The contact is usually mediated by sexual contact, IV drug abuse & blood exposure. 4) Antibodies against HIV are nearly always detected in AIDS patients and HIV infected asymptomatic individuals. 5) HIV 2 virus is similar to HIV 1 virus, however is less pathogenic, have longer latency period with slower progression to disease, lower viral titre and lower rates of vertical and horizontal transmission. Confirmatory Test: 1) HIV RNA PCR Limitations of the test: 1) Heterophile antibodies in human serum can react with reagent immunoglobulins, interfering with in-vitro immunoassay. 2) Patients routinely exposed to animals or animal serum products can be prone to this interference. Reference: 1) HIV (generation IV) kit pack insert 2) Wallach's Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests, 9th Edition 3) Bakerman's ABC's of Interpretive Laboratory Data Disclaimer: Pre and post counselling for HIV test will be performed by referring physician/authority whenever patient is referred. * Sample processed at SUBURBAN DIAGNOSTICS adhere CPL *** End Of Report *** what kind of test is that I am sending its not duo test I don't after 3 month 20 days.

If you are patient than you should go for HIV DUO. It will give you best Test results. If you are professional and dealing with high risk patient than Go for HIV DNA PCR Qualitative after 14 days, Western Blot after 42 days and HIV DUO after 90th day.
