Validation study of an automated chemiluminiscence assay to detect HIV antibodies in oral fluid specimens

Abstract: Oral fluid specimens (OF) have been widely used to know the HIV prevalence in several key populations. Here, we aim to validate in OF specimens an existing HIV chemiluminiscence assay for serum specimens. Paired OF and serum specimens were collected from 83 known HIV-positives and 83 known HIV-negatives in order to validate the performance characteristics of the automated chemiluminiscence Liaison XL Murex HIV Ag/Ab assay (Diasorin Inc, Iberia) for HIV antibody detection in OF specimens. Among the previously k… Show more

“…In this study, FSWs preferred urine HIV reagents, which may be related to the non-invasive operation of the rapid test kits. Although the diagnostic performance has been proven in some studies, 40 a low percentage of subjects in this study chose the oral secretion HIV antibody test kit, probably due to its expensive price and complicated operation.…”
