HIV 1/2/O rapid test is a one step lateral flow test designed to qualitatively detect antibodies
to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) type-1, and/or type-2, and /or group-O in serum, or plasma or whole blood. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains are divided into two distinct types: HIV
type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV-2. Genetic analysis of HIV-1 isolates indicates that they are separated into two
groups: M (major) and O (outlier). HIV-1 group M infections predominate worldwide, while HIV-2 is found primarily
in West Africa. Although HIV-1 group O infection is endemic
in west central Africa (Cameroon, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea), patients
infected with group O isolates also have been identified in other geographical regions, such as Belgium, France,
Germany, Spain, and the United States. Our HIV 1/2/O one step rapid test is designed to detect HIV-1, and/or HIV-2,
and/or HIV-O infection.
