Query about test manufacturer

Hi

I did a test Hiv1/2 Ag/Ab (by CMIA) after 90 days mark of my exposure and it was negative. I have just one query
is this  same test manufactured by Abbott which is referred in FDA approval as ARCHITECT HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay. Or there can be different manufacturers of the  CMIA test.

Like teak said, your questions need to be directed to the lab.

Hi  Teak

I will check with lab , does it also mean that my test may not be valid(if different manufacturer) and I need to take test again.

Thanks Teak

It was taken in Hong Kong but test description only says-Hiv1/2 Ag/Ab (by CMIA), hence I wished to enquire about manufacturer. Not sure if any one other than Abbott manufactures  4th generation CMIA test

The test was  done from old and well known lab prescribed by my doctor.
