Abstract

Three rapid tests were evaluated for the detection of antibodies to HIV in 111 plasma specimens (81 HIV-1 non-B subtypes, including 4 coinfections with HIV-2, 30 HIV negative). The Determine HIV-1/2, Equipar HIV, and Multispot HIV-1/2 tests were 100% sensitive and specific for the detection of HIV-1 antibodies. Multispot showed 92.7% specificity for HIV-2.
