Uni-Gold™ Recombigen® HIV
NAME AND INTENDED USE
Uni-Gold™ Recombigen® HIV is a single use rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and /orHIV-2 in serum, plasma and whole blood
(venipuncture and fingerstick).
Uni-Gold™ Recombigen® HIV is intended foruse in point of care settings as an aid in diagnosis of infection with HIV-1 and HIV-2.* Uni-Gold™ Recombigen® HIV Package Insert, pg. 1
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Please use this product according to its name and intended use. Uni- Gold Recombigen is a single use rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies to HIV -1 and HIV-2. Please keep in mind an immunoassay test relies on biochemistry to measure the presence of HIV antibodies that a person produces as a result of HIV infection. Remember HIV -1 is primarily in the United States and HIV-2 which is predominately in Western Africa. This test can be utilized with serum, plasma, and whole blood ( venipuncture and fingerstick. Please see package insert page 1 for additional information.

HIV Antibodies
Presenter
Presentation Notes
In order to understand the reason behind using 3rd generation testing, one must understand HIV early infection. Once a person is infected with HIV, the earliest the infection can be detected utilizing HIV testing technology is around Day 11 looking at HIV RNA through a Nucleic Acid Test. Around Day 16 HIV p24 antigen can be detected with 4th generation testing. 3rd generation testing can detect the presence of HIV IGm and IGg antibodies as early as around day 22. And 2nd generation testing detects HIV IGg antibodies after day 40. In the past, the state of Georgia utilized 2nd generation testing devices ( such as oraqick advance, chembio surescheck or clearview) which detected only HIV IGg antibodies around day 40 of infection according to the chart above.
