HIV antibody testing is used to screen for and diagnose HIV infections. Since there is no cure, early treatment of HIV infection and immune system monitoring can greatly improve long-term health and survival. Also, if a person knows his HIV status, it may help change behaviors that can put him and others at risk. Verify a positive with a second HIV antibody test that differentiates between HIV-1 and HIV-2. 2  If results between the first and second test do not agree, then the next test to perform is a HIV-1 RNA test (nucleic acid amplification test, NAAT).
A positive result (antigen detected) is indicative of H pylori presence. A negative result (antigen not detected) indicates absence of H pylori or an antigenic level below the assay limit of detection. The test has a sensitivity and specificity of 96% for detecting H pylori infection.
