There has been a rapid evolution in diagnostic technology since the first
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) antibody test became commercially available
in 1985. Today, a wide range of different HIV antibody tests are available.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are still widely used, but many
simple and rapid STD tests offer a number of advantages in certain
circumstances: all those circumstances which require a near-the-patient test
known as Point-of-Care (POC). POC are characterized by the use of tests that
can be performed both in clinic or in remote areas, with results available
within a short time so that patients can be treated without a return visit.
Rapid tests typically used in POC testing are useful in both clinic and
outreach settings because more people find out their results. Some newer rapid
tests are simple, accurate, do not require special laboratory equipment, and
can be performed in 15 minutes.
The Adaltis HIV Rapid Test*
The Adaltis HIV Rapid Test is a screening test for detecting antibodies to HIV.
It can be performed in many different sites and conditions and it is
particularly suited for Point-Of-Care testing. It does not need any
instrumentation nor any added component. The test is performed on a Whole Blood
or Serum/Plasma sample, and produces results very quickly (within a few
minutes). This means the results can be provided to the person during a single
visit.
Among others benefits, our HIV Rapid Test offers:
Faster Results than ELISA Kit (more people can receive their results as they
are available in a few minutes)
Wider Access to screen testing (the test can be performed almost anywhere,
including mobile screening units)
Prophylaxis decisions: in case of a positive result, a confirmation test can be
set up
Increased Cost-Effectiveness
The EasyLine Fast Check HIV is just one of the several very high quality and
cost-effective Rapid Tests included in the ADALTIS RAPID TEST EASYLINE.
