An accurate dynamic testing approach for analysing images produced by quick HIV kits

Abstract

The quick HIV testing kits have become widely available to perform blood tests and obtain the HIV testing results in short period of time. However, any human errors in such tests will have a severe impact on the patients and the society. A specialised flexile HIV testing system has been developed to eliminate the human error and provide accurate testing results. However, the testing method used by this system to analyse the HIV kit's image, called static analysing kit's image method, has shown that such testing method is not very accurate. In this work, we have developed an accurate method called dynamic analysing kit's image that overcomes the problems associated with static analysing kit's image method.
