Re: All you need to know about HIV -updated May 2011

Yeah agreed. But just looking at the stats in singapore... i'm wondering if the test we have / use are accrurate..

(ie) Antibody test after 3 months

As most new cases were late stage infections, I am wondering how accrurate as our tests? Even the DSC and AFA test kits - Oraquick / Determine - has disclaimers on them which states that they do not guarantee accruracy or the ability to detect HIV in whatever window period.
Could these tests be reporting false negatives in a person until years later? Maybe these late stage new cases have been going for these test every month but they turned out negative ??
