HIV/CAUTION
The following is almost unbelievable to read &
if you are like most people, THINK that there is an HIV test somewhere, you might be
shocked to find out that....
THERE REALLY IS NO HIV TEST
There are only antibody tests.
Why are we being told to get tested for
HIV when tests can't find it? Look at what the manufacturers of these tests say about
tests that are claimed to be for testing for HIV.......

diagnosis of infection with HIV-1. It is not intended for use in screening blood
donors.
Published data indicate a strong correlation between the acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and a retrovirus referred to as Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).1,2
Abbott RealTime HIV-1 Amplification Reagent/Calibrator/Control Kit
Applicant: ABBOTT Molecular, Inc
This assay is not intended to be used as a donor screening test for HIV-1 or as
a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV-1 infection.
COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 Test
Applicant: Roche Molecular Systems, Inc
The COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® HIV-1 Test is not intended for use as a
screening test for the presence of HIV-1 in blood or blood products or as a
diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV-1 infection.
HIV-1 (Western Blot)
Maxim Biomedical, Inc,
Do not use this kit as the sole basis of diagnosis of HIV-1 infection.
OraSure HIV-1 Western Blot Kit
Epitope, Inc., Beaverton, OR
The OraSure HIV-1 Western Blot Kit is not intended for use with blood,
serum/plasma or urine specimens or for screening potential blood donors.
An OraSure sample that is reactive in both EIA screening test and Western blot
assay is presumed to be positive for antibodies to HIV-l
MedMira Reveal Rapid HIV-1 Antibody Test
Applicant: MedMira Laboratories, Inc, CANADA
The Reveal™ Rapid HIV -1 Antibody Test is intended for use as a point-of-care
test to aid in the diagnosis of infection with HIV -1 The Reveal™ Rapid HIV-1

Uni-Gold™ Recombigen® HIV is intended for use in point of care settings as an
aid in diagnosis of infection with HIV-1
ELISA TESTING
EIA testing alone cannot be used to diagnose AIDS, even if the recommended
investigation of reactive specimens suggests a high probability that the
antibody to HIV-1 is present.
At present there is no recognized standard for establishing the presence and
absence of HIV-1 antibody in human blood.
Therefore sensitivity was computed based on the clinical diagnosis of AIDS and
specificity based on random donors1.
