GroupInterventionDescription
Known HIV positiveIn Vitro Diagnostic DevicePatients from HIV clinics with documented infections
High Risk for Infection with HIVIn Vitro Diagnostic DevicePatients from defined HIV high-risk populations - i.e. intravenous drug users, or patients presenting with symptoms of sexually transmitted disease.
Low-Risk for Infection with HIVIn Vitro Diagnostic DeviceIndividuals not known to belong to any of the defined high-risk groups - i.e. "healthy patients" presenting for routine physicals or other unrelated non-life threatening illnesses, or individuals from a general low risk population such as students, employees of academic or other institutions, etc...
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The device detects HIV-1 antibodies in a variety of sample matrices: capillary whole blood, venous whole blood (with EDTA or heparin anticoagulant), oral fluid, serum and plasma (with EDTA or heparin anticoagulant).20 minutes
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The device provides a qualitative screen for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 compared to an FDA approved HIV-1/2 EIA, with sensitivity and specificity equal to or greater than 98% at the lower 95% confidence interval boundary.20 minutes
