| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. HIV tests are used to detect the presence of the human immunodeficiency virus in serum, saliva, or urine. Such tests may detect HIV antibodies, antigens, or RNA. Tests used for the diagnosis of HIV infection in a particular person require a high degree of both sensitivity and specificity. A combination of antibody, antigen and nucleic acid tests are used by blood banks in Western countries. This book studies the most important HIV tests including blood plasma, electroblotting, RNA, and viral load.
