PV-12 The analysis of KCDC HIV NAT EQAS for HIV RNA quantitation laboratories in 2008

Abstract

patients Western blot test were positive and in 7 of them were negative. As a result, our confirmation ratio was %61.11. HIV seroprevalence of Eskisehir region between 2001–2009 was found %0.032. Conclusions: HIV/AIDS seroprevalence in our region was fortunately too low. When we evaluated for confidence of HIV tests used in our lab, high confirmation ratio of the results showed that our kits are sensitive enough to detect antigen-antibody. In 17 patients first assay results were reactive but second assay results were negative and this showed us high sensitivity of the test kit.
