Evaluation of the MAGLUMI HIV Ab/Ag combi test for the detection of HIV infection.

Background

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection screening and diagnosis are critical to control the HIV epidemic. Testing for anti-HIV antibodies (Ab) and antigens (Ag) in blood samples is the first step to screen people who have been potentially exposed to the virus. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the MAGLUMI HIV Ab/Ag Combi for detection of HIV antibodies and antigens.

Methods

We used residual samples to assess the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of the MAGLUMI HIV Ab/Ag Combi retrospectively. All samples that met the test criteria were tested with the MAGLUMI HIV Ab/Ag Combi according to manufacturer's instruction. Results of the MAGLUMI HIV Ab/Ag Combi were compared with the Architect HIV Ag/Ab Combo test.
