HIV TEST KIT
Are the current rapid test kit available in the market today and usa fda approved (i.e. abbott determine hiv 1/2) will able to detect anti-bodies even in such rare cases hiv type Group N? I raised this question because on inverness medical website abbott determine hiv 1/2 does not indicate their that it also covers HIV GROUP N.
Mr. Teak who is very helpful to me in guiding me in this site. Please if anybody knows what is really about. Can you please explain to me. I have been tested 1,2,3,5,11, and 15 months post exposure. However upon knowing that abbott determine hiv 1/2 kit does not cover HIV GROUP N I been to freak out again.
Sorry for being so paranoid. I only want to settle this issue in my mind. I am a family man, and I dont have access to the doctors forum..
Thanks very much... Pls advise..
