 Evaluation of the performance of HIV rapid diagnostic tests on Oral Fluid and Urine for WHO prequalification assessment.
REFNo: HS4871ES

To describe and assess the operational characteristics and ease of use of HIV RDTs on urine or oral fluids and its suitability for use in countries with limited infrastructure (no/limited electricity, no/limited clean water, and inadequate means of biosafety disposal).,To assess inter-reader variability (for subjectively read assays),To assess analytical performance of HIV RDTs for the detection of antibodies to HIV in oral fluid and urine: ? Sensitivity on seroconversion panels compared to a benchmark assay ? Performance on mixed-titer panels ? Subtype detection ? Lot-to-lot variation ,To determine the sensitivity and specificity of HIV RDTs for the detection of antibodies to HIV in oral fluids and urine as compared to a reference algorithm (two EIAs followed by a line immunoassay) in blood- derived specimen and compare them to predefined acceptance criteria for prequalification,The overall objective is to evaluate and compare the accuracy of HIV rapid tests for the detection of HIV antibodies in oral fluids and urine against established performance criteria. ,
