Evaluation of Bio-Rad Geenius HIV-1 and -2 Assay as a Confirmatory Assay for Detection of HIV-1 and -2 Antibodies
ABSTRACT The performance of the new Bio-Rad Geenius HIV-1/2 confirmatory assay was compared with that of the Chiron RIBA HIV-1/HIV-2 strip immunoblot assay using 166 samples from HIV-1-, HIV-2-, or HIV-1/2-positive and HIV-negative individuals and two quality control panels. Our results indicate that the Geenius assay is a suitable alternative for confirmatory HIV testing.
