Determine HIV 1/2

[lebronbryant2010]

I have read on its product catalogue that Determine HIV 1/2 cannot detect HIV-1 subtypes H,J,K?
Then why does AFA in Singapore conclude 3 months post exposure test is conclusive if this is the
case..

Can anyone who have further knowledge in HIV explain this?

[Bobby07]

I just need some clarifications again.. Is the abbott determine hiv 1/2 able to detect HIV Type Group N and P?
and does this strain found in Asia? If yes, is there any documented evidence?


Pls advise. Thanks for your usual support...

You're welcome.

Thank you very much teak. For your patience and understanding..

I hope that you will continue sharing your knowledge on this site, specially for those
who have limited knowledge on HIV.

Maybe i just read outdated information from the internet. And maybe because I just got worried because this month Our company is requiring us to have Standard HIV test to re-new our employment pass..

I really trust your opinion and thank you for your time..

[Teak]

YES

[lebronbryant2010]

Thanks. But again sorry for not understanding your statement accurately..

[Teak]

[lebronbryant2010]

I am from philippines and the unprotected sex happens here in singapore with a filipina woman with unknown HIV status?

Thanks a lot. but pls provide me an answer with subtypes H,J,K..

[Teak]

It checks for all subtypes.. It says A to G. There is no true E or I subtype.

[lebronbryant2010]

Sorry for disturbing again. But as a family man, i need to be rest assured.

Is Determine HIV 1/2 detect all HIV subtypes? Pls help me ease my worries..

Because on its product catalogue it only show subtypes A-G..

Pls let me konw so I can finally move on. Again i am really very sorry, just help me understand this matter. Thank you so much.

"My story is this. I am a male who have once had unprotected sexual intercourse with a woman here in singapore.
I have tested at Action for Aids in DSC Clinic Singapore using rapid blood testing at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 5 months, and at 11 months post exposure and it all came back negative."
