Laboratory evaluation of a dual rapid immunodiagnostic test for HIV and syphilis infection.
New dual tests for HIV and syphilis have been developed. Our study aimed to evaluate the laboratory performance of a dual rapid immunodiagnostic test for HIV and syphilis. Our evaluation showed high performance of this dual rapid test, which should be considered for implementation to increase screening coverage and efficiency.
