Contribution of combined detection assays of p24 antigen and anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies in diagnosis of primary HIV infection by routine testing.

Abstract

In reference to the paper of Weber et al. ([1][1]), we report here the contribution of a fourth-generation human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnosis assay, the VIDAS HIV DUO (bioMerieux), to diagnosis of primary HIV infection earlier than the third generation. During a recent 9-month survey,
