Paper Summary

The Calypte HIV-1 Urine EIA-PRC test was evaluated for its accuracy in detecting HIV antibodies in urine samples. The test was found to be 98.92% specific in healthy blood donors and 100% sensitive in AIDS patients. This means that the test correctly identified HIV antibodies in all AIDS patients tested, making it a valuable tool for HIV surveillance and screening.
