Retroviral Diagnostics - HIV

Value of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Diagnostics

Despite advances in treatment, the HIV/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) pandemic remains one of the biggest challenges for global public health care. Because there is currently no cure for HIV infection, early detection is critical to control the continued spread of HIV infection. The ability to test multiple specimen types provides antibody testing at alternate test sites to enable earlier detection.

Avioq HIV-1 Screening Tests

The Avioq HIV-1 Microelisa System is currently the only assay FDA approved for use with Oral Fluid and Dried Blood Spot specimens. The same product is utilized for testing four different specimen types: serum, plasma, dried blood spots, and oral fluid. Product enhancements provide increased adaptability to automated instrumentation.

Applications

Antibody testing with Serum, Plasma, Oral Fluid, and Dried Blood Spots at Reference Laboratories, Departments of Health, Hospitals, Insurance Laboratories, and other Laboratories performing HIV-1 diagnostic testing.

Retroviral Diagnostics - HTLV-I/II 

Value of Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type I (HTLV-I) and/or Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type II (HTLV-II)

Transmission of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infections to transfusion recipients of infected cellular blood products is well documented. Other known modes of transmission include breast milk, sexual contact, and sharing of contaminated needles and syringes by intravenous drug abusers. Perinatal transmission is suspected but remains unproven.

Avioq HTLV-I/II Screening Tests

The Avioq HTLV-I/II Microelisa System is currently available for the detection of antibodies to HTLV-I and HTLV-II. Product enhancements provide increased adaptability to automated instrumentation.

Applications

Antibody testing with Serum or Plasma at Reference Laboratories, Transplantation Labs, Hospitals, Blood Banks, and other Laboratories performing HTLV-I/II diagnostic  testing.
