Serology reagents intended to detect antigens to human immunodeficiency virus serotype 1 (HIV-1) and/or serotype 2 (HIV-2). Human immunodeficiency viruses are retroviruses of the genus Lentivirus, family Retroviridae, that may cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Tests using these reagents are not widely utilized; these regents may have questionable clinical usefulness, and easier or less expensive tests may be available.
