Figure 3. Possible types of result for two-line/dot HIV rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs).

Figure 3

RDTs from top to bottom are: Advance Quality, Determine and Insti. Typical results for reactive (A), non-reactive (B) and invalid sample results (C) as shown in manufacturers' instruction were considered "obvious". The results labeled D were considered "difficult" because of the presence of only a faint line/dot and because both lines/dots are not the same intensity.
