The numbers (n) reflect the paired comparison analysis of 230 plasma specimens from 26 seroconverters. The reactivity of DPP® HIV was compared to historical data generated with each of the following FDA-approved rapid tests: OraQuick ADVANCE (Oraquick), Uni-Gold Recombigen HIV (Unigold), Reveal G2 and G3 Rapid HIV-1 antibody test (Reveal), Multispot HIV-1/HIV-2 rapid test (Multispot), Clearview HIV-1/2 STAT-PAK (Statpak), and Clearview HIV-12/ Complete (Complete). The p values were obtained from the McNemar’s statistical analysis. The values with an asterisk indicate a statistically significant difference in reactivity between tests during early stages of HIV-1 infection. R: reactive; NR: non-reactive.
