It is estimated that there were 4.3 million new cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 2006 and half a million of these were children under 15 years old. Around 40 million people worldwide are now living with HIV/AIDS, so early detection and treatment of HIV-1 and -2 remains critical in improving survival rates and reducing transmission, especially to the unborn child.
Clearview Complete HIV 1/2 screens for HIV-1 and -2 antibodies in whole blood, serum or plasma using proven lateral-flow technology. The high sensitivity of the test kit delivers reliable results in as little as 15 minutes. This means the patient is still present when results appear, enabling rapid follow-up and counselling if required.
