Direct Answer

This rapid test detects HIV-1/2 antibodies in WB / S / P to support HIV/AIDS. It is a colloidal-gold screening test — a reactive result is presumptive and should be confirmed per the intended use.

Intended Use

Detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in blood.

Clinical Context

HIV antibody tests detect immune response to infection; standard first-line screening. WHO testing strategies use serial antibody tests with confirmation.

Test Principle

Colloidal-gold immunochromatography (lateral flow). The device captures the target analyte (antigen or antibody) on a membrane via labeled antibodies, producing a visible test line within minutes. Qualitative or semi-quantitative, intended as a screening/triage aid — not a replacement for confirmatory laboratory testing.

Limitations

A reactive result is presumptive and must be confirmed per national algorithm; antibody tests miss very early infection (window period).

Procurement

Specimen: whole blood / serum / plasma. Format: cassette / dipstick. Registration in progress (Non-CE per current catalog).

Interpretation

Result	Lines	Meaning
Positive	Test + control line	Target detected (presumptive positive)
Negative	Control line only	Below cut-off / not detected
Invalid	No control line	Repeat with a new device
