Antigen can generally be detected during both acute phase and the symptomatic phase of AIDS only. The antibodies to HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 can be detected throughout virtually the whole infection period, starting at or shortly after the acute phase and lasting till the end stage of AIDS. Therefore, the use of highly sensitive antibody assays is the primary approach in serodiagnosis of HIV infection. Apart from sexual transmission, the principal route of infection with HIV is blood transfusion. HIV can present both in cellular and cell-free fractions of human blood. Therefore, all donations of blood or plasma should be tested because due to the risk of HIV transmission through contaminated blood.;Species Reactivity:Virus;Application:qualitative;Storage:Unopened Kit: Store at 2 - 8°C.
