Abstract
Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and confirmatory immunoprecipitation tests, sera from 640 Nigerians from Lagos and Cross River States were examined for antibodies against HIV. These comprised 570 blood donors and their family members, 56 patients with various haematological conditions and 14 patients with acute Plasmodium falciparum infection. None of the sera was positive for HTLV-III/LAV antibodies by immunoprecipitation, although 12 (1.9%) sera were positive by ELISA.Entities:
