SD BIOLINE HIV-1/2 3.0 test is a immunochromatographic test for the differential and qualitative detection of all isotypes (IgG, IgM, IgA) antibodies specific to HIV-1 including subtype O and HIV-2 simultaneously, in human serum, plasma or whole blood.
The test is intended as an initial qualitative screening test to detect HIV-1 and 2 antibodies. This test should be used as a screening test and as an aid to diagnosing antibodies to HIV-l and 2.
The HIV antibody test is the most commonly used test, and generally provides the most reliable results.
The results are available almost immediately and you can perform a test privately.
The test uses the 3rd generation method (direct sandwich method, Ag-Ab-Ag).
Other benefits of the test include:
Serum, Plasma, Whole Blood specimen
Highly sensitive even to IgM during early infection stage
Differentiation of test result by HIV-1 and HIV-2 by clear band formation (3-lines)
Sensitivity : 100%, Specificity : 99.8%
Capture Ag : HIV-1 (p24, gp41), HIV-2 (gp36)
Evaluated by WHO (Sensitivity 100%, Specificity 99.3%)
Procured by WHO, UNICEF, etc.
Long shelf life : 24 months at room temperature
Note that though the kit offers anonymity and the test results are rapid, there are chances of both false positive and false negative results. Still the false results are very low.
All positive test results and high risk patients with negative test results should be confirmed with a laboratory test which is done in clinical circumstances.
Though a person who is infected with HIV will become infectious themselves very rapidly (within a day or so), they will normally have to wait a while before an HIV test will produce an accurate result. The length of time a person should wait before taking an HIV test will depend on the type of test they are taking.
The HIV antibody test looks for antibodies to the virus in a person's blood. For most people these antibodies take 6 weeks to 3 months to develop. In rare cases, it can take up to 6 months. It is extremely rare for a person to take any longer then 6 months to develop detectable antibodies.
Getting tested before 3 months have elapsed may result in an unclear test result, as an infected person may not yet have developed antibodies to HIV. These 3 months are known as the 'window period'. So it is best to wait for at least 3 months after the last time you were at risk before taking the test. Some test centres may recommend testing again at 6 months, just to be extra sure, though in most cases this is not necessary.
