    Snippet: Performance of POCT kits was investigated using a first set of specimens fully characterized by enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) and line assays. All specimens correctly showed reactive results for HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibody with all POCTs. However 7 of 20 specimens showed weak reactive results for HIV antibodies on both INSTI HIV 1/2 and OraQuick .................................................................................................................

Rapid HIV-1/2 antibody kits, including 3 of 16 HIV-1 and all four HIV-2 specimens. All specimens tested negative for HIV p24 antigen. All results were valid as control lines were clearly observed in all tests. Accuracy of the results obtained were assured as re-testing of the specimens using the Genscreen EIA matched those from the previous characterization and the results obtained from an outside reference laboratory.
