There are three types of HIV testing kits. What are their clinical characteristics?

AIDS is a very dangerous disease. After all, there is still no effective medicine in modern times, so most patients face death in the end. Since AIDS is so terrible, we need to take precautions in our daily lives. Of course, this is not enough, we should also do a good job of AIDS testing. What are the AIDS test kits?

HIV test kit

There are many types of HIV testing reagents used by the CDC, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), gelatin particle agglutination assay (PA), latex particle agglutination assay (LA), HIV rapid test strips, etc.

All of the above are AIDS primary screening test kits used by CDCs. Different CDCs use different AIDS primary screening test kits. For example, the most advanced AIDS primary screening test kit is Abbott's fourth-generation test kit (chemiluminescence method), while the AIDS test kits used by CDCs in some backward areas are relatively backward and the price is also the cheapest.

Clinical symptoms of AIDS:

1. The disease is more common in young people, with 80% of the cases occurring between the ages of 18 and 45, which is the age group with more active sexual life.

2. After being infected with AIDS, people often suffer from some rare diseases such as Pneumocystis pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, non-typological mycobacterial and fungal infections, etc.

3. Persistent and widespread enlargement of lymph nodes throughout the body. Especially the cervical, axillary and inguinal lymph nodes are more obvious. The lymph nodes are larger than 1 cm in diameter, firm in texture, movable and painless.

4. Concurrent malignant tumors, such as Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma, etc.
