Abstract:	The rapid test VIKIA HIV1/2 was evaluated in 210 Angolan subjects infected with multiple HIV-1 subtypes and complex recombinant forms and 225 seronegative individuals. All infected subjects tested positive (100% sensitivity); all seronegative subjects tested negative (100% specificity). VIKIA HIV1/2 is highly specific and sensitive even in highly complex epidemics.

Keywords:	VIKIA HIV1/2 Rapid diagnosis of HIV-1 infection in Angola Clinical sensitivity and specificity HIV-1 genetic forms
