However, unknown to many, the torch basically gives a clue of what the Statue of Liberty once was, which is a lighthouse. It was in 1876 when the torch and the right hand that lifts it was completed by the great sculptor, Frederic Bartholdi.
Urine Test for HIV. A test that detects HIV antibodies in urine was approved by the FDA in 1996. This test is not generally available to consumers. It is usually marketed to insurance companies and to other countries. Note: urine has antibodies for HIV, not HIV itself, so HIV is not transmitted by urine.
The two types of antibody tests most commonly used to detect HIV infection are the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoassay) and Western blot tests. These tests are very accurate, but they are only able to detect HIV antibodies and not the HIV virus particle itself. 1  A process is followed to determine if you are HIV positive. 2  First, the ELISA test is performed.  If the ELISA test is negative for the detection of HIV antibodies, the test is reported as negative.
