A multicenter performance evaluation of the DPP® HIV-1/2 assay for the detection of HIV antibodies in various HIV testing algorithms

Assay sensitivity and specificity obtained for both FS and OF were similar. The DPP HIV 1/2 Assay is highly accurate in detecting antibodies to HIV-1/2 with OF and FS specimens when compared to nationally accepted algorithms. The assay is especially advantageous in that the original sample is collected in a closed vial, eliminating the need for recollection of samples at the POC in the event of an invalid result or assay error upon testing.
