Abstract
Four HIV rapid tests were subjected to field validation in Panama and compared to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay/Multispot-based testing algorithm. The sensitivities of Determine, Uni-Gold, SD Bioline, and INSTI were 99.8%. The specificities of Determine, SD-Bioline, and Uni-Gold were 100%, and the specificity of INSTI was 99.8%. On the basis of these data, we determined that these rapid tests can be used in an appropriate algorithm to diagnose HIV infection and are suitable for use in testing and counseling settings in Panama.Entities:
