Background: HIV-1 Western blot (WB) may be positive in specimens from persons with HIV-2 infection due to cross-reactive antibodies. HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections may be identified using assays designed to differentiate HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibody reactivity.
Objectives: To evaluate the ability of the current CDC WB criteria, alternative more stringent HIV-1 WB criteria (2 env plus one gag or pol band) and the Multispot HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Test to accurately differentiate HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections.
