title: HIV types and testing.
abstract: The past year has seen the discovery of new isolates which do not readily fit into the established categories HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV, as well as the availability of new assays including the use of the polymerase chain reaction. New combination enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays can detect viruses from two or more groups where specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays have been developed using peptides and monoclonal antibodies.
