Results Judgment
The TEST LINE – which appears closer to the bottom of the test strip (below the control line) indicates the presence of HIV specific antibodies. The test line will become visible within 15 minutes after starting a valid test when HIV specific antibodies are present at detectable levels in the specimen.
REACTIVE / Positive
(diagram 1):
Two pink/purple lines, one in the TEST area and one in the CONTROL area indicate a REACTIVE Test Result. The line in the TEST area may look different from the line in the CONTROL area. Intensities of the Test and Control Lines may vary. Test Result with visible lines in both TEST and CONTROL areas, regardless of intensity, is considered REACTIVE. A REACTIVE Test Result means that HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 antibodies have been detected in the specimen. The Test Result is interpreted as Preliminary POSITIVE for HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 antibodies.
NONREACTIVE / Negative
(diagram 2):
One pink/purple line in the CONTROL area, with no line in the TEST area indicates a NONREACTIVE Test Result. A NONREACTIVE Test Result means that HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies were not detected in the specimen.The Test Result is interpreted as NEGATIVE for HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies.
INVALID
(diagram 3):
A pink/purple line should always appear in the CONTROL area, whether or not a line appears in the
TEST area. If there is no distinct pink/purple line visible in the CONTROL area (see diagrams 3), then the test is INVALID. An INVALID test cannot be interpreted. It is recommended that the INVALID test be repeated with a new device.
