title: Performance evaluation of four different kits available in the Indian market, for the rapid detection of HIV antibody.
abstract: The performance of four rapid human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody screening assays was evaluated on an established panel of samples. All the assays showed 100% sensitivity and specificities in the range of 98.6-100%. These tests can safely be used for screening at centres in India where facilities are limited.
