peekawho, can you direct me to the thread on same. I cant find anything.
By the way happy new year to all
Thanks so much guys.
I saw on a previous thread that thai testing procedures are quite up-to-date and that recently thailand was praised for its hiv stratagy generally, so I am assuming that the test was third or fourth gen.
I also read however that there is minimal incidence of hiv 2 in thailand and therefore it is not mandatory to test for it, thats what had me worried.
Your answer will be accurate for both types. Dr HHH has answered this many times.
the answer is yes. third and fourth generation tests are also called Duo
so, all third or fourth generation tests are DUO's?
the answer is yes if you had a third or fourth generation test (Duo = antibody+antigen). those tests detect HIV 1 and HIV2 simultaneously.
