What are basic principles of clinically used AIDS (from blood) detectors ?
Good link,Originally posted by Monique
Interesting site: http://www.aidshivtest.com/ I guess it is based on the same technique as described above?
Yes of course, chips are under "must be included", for any modern and quanitative equipment :).Originally posted by Monique
I actually would have expected a high-throughput method like chips..

I just think that they don't post on the net all the tehnical and engineering data
AIDS detectors, also known as HIV tests, are medical devices used to detect the presence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in a person's body. These tests work by detecting the presence of specific antibodies or antigens produced by the immune system in response to the HIV infection.
The key principles of using AIDS detectors in a clinical setting include following proper testing protocols, ensuring accuracy and reliability of results, maintaining confidentiality and privacy of patients, providing appropriate counseling and support, and adhering to ethical and legal guidelines.
There are several types of AIDS detectors available, including rapid tests, point-of-care tests, laboratory tests, and self-testing kits. Each type has its own advantages and limitations, and the choice of test depends on factors such as the purpose of testing, availability, and cost.
AIDS detectors are highly accurate, with a sensitivity (ability to detect true positive cases) and specificity (ability to exclude false positive cases) of over 99%. However, no test is 100% accurate, and false positive or false negative results can occur due to various factors such as human error, technical issues, or the stage of infection.
The benefits of using AIDS detectors include early detection of HIV infection, timely treatment and management, prevention of transmission to others, and improved health outcomes. However, these tests also have limitations, such as the need for confirmation testing, potential for false results, and the inability to detect recent infections or very early stages of infection.
