Evaluation of HIV Rapid Test Kits

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three conventional HIV rapid test kits were used: Capillus HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Test (Trinity Biotech, Ireland), Multispot HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Test (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), and Uni-Gold Recombigen® HIV-1/2 kit (Trinity Biotech, Ireland). While the prevalence of clinical use for these tests varies considerably, all are certified (as of October 15, 2015) for deployment by the USAID (United States Agency for International Development) (USAID, 2015) . All reagents were used as received and test procedures were carried out under ambient conditions according to manufacturer instructions provided in package inserts.
Negative control human serum was purchased from Sigma (# H4522, St. Louis, MO). This serum was used for serial dilutions of positive control serum from various rapid test kits. Fresh negative and positive clinical serum samples were obtained from the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC, Baltimore, MD) and Innovative Research, Inc (Novi, MI). These samples were characterized for the presence of HIV antibodies by 3rd generation ELISA (Genetic Systems HIV 1/2 Plus O EIA). All serum samples were stored at 2–8 °C prior to use.

Vaccine-Induced Seropositivity Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
VISR was assessed 2 weeks after the third and fourth vaccinations and at 9 and 12 months after enrollment using a diagnostic algorithm that includes 4 different enzyme immunoassays (EIAs): Abbott Architect HIV Ag/Ab Combo, Abbot Prism, Bio-Rad Genetic Systems HIV Combo Ag/Ab EIA, and Bio-Rad Multispot HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Test. For participants with a positive result in any of these assays, RNA PCR (Abbott m2000 HIV-1 Real-Time PCR) was performed to distinguish vaccine-induced responses from actual infection.

Clinical laboratory studies were done in compliance with USAMRIID’s Clinical Laboratory procedures. Hematology was performed using an AcT10 Hematology Analyzer by Beckman Coulter, and urinalysis was done utilizing a Multistix 10 SG, by Siemens. Clinical chemistries were performed using a Piccolo Point of Care General Chemistry panel (ALB, ALP, ALT, AMY, AST, BUN, Ca, CRE, GGT, GLU, TBIL, TP) by Abaxis. HIV Ab were done at USAMRIID using the Clinical Laboratory’s routine HIV testing kit, Bio-Rad Laboratories Multispot HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Test. Throat swabs were done using routine daily clinical methodology.

Comprehensive HIV Screening Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were classified as HIV positive or HIV negative using the testing algorithm shown in Figure 1. This algorithm is similar to the current US CDC testing algorithm2 , but was modified to include two fourth-generation assays and two HIV RNA assays to maximize sensitivity for detecting HIV infection. The two fourth-generation assays were performed in parallel (Abbott Combo assay; and GS HIV Combo Ag/Ab EIA, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Redmond, WA; referred to below as the Bio-Rad Combo assay). If one or both assay was reactive, samples were tested using the Multispot HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Test (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Redmond, WA; referred to below as the discriminatory assay). If the discriminatory assay was negative or indeterminate, samples were tested using two HIV RNA assays (APTIMA HIV-1 RNA Qualitative Assay, Hologic Gen-Probe Inc., San Diego, CA, referred to below as the Aptima RNA assay; and Roche COBAS AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR test, v1.5, Roche Diagnostics, Branchburg, NJ; referred to below as the Roche viral load assay). Samples were classified as HIV positive if they had any of the following test results: positive discriminatory test, positive Aptima RNA assay, or positive Roche viral load assay (Figure 1).

HIV Seroconversion Testing Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HPTN Laboratory Center (LC) performed Quality Assurance testing using the Abbott Architect HIV 1/2 Combo test. Incident HIV infections were confirmed at the HPTN LC using a panel of assays that included the Bio‐Rad GS Combo Ag/Ab EIA test and the Bio‐Rad MultiSpot HIV‐1/HIV‐2 Rapid test. Qualitative HIV RNA testing was performed using the APTIMA HIV‐1 RNA Qualitative Assay to determine if the participant had acute HIV infection at the visit prior to HIV seroconversion. Viral load and CD4 cell count testing were performed at study sites for participants who acquired HIV infection during the study.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
