It is known that antibodies to HIV are secreted in urine and saliva. IgG antibody capture particle adherence test (GACPAT) has been shown to provide accurate results for antibodies in urine. The aim of the study was to study the sensitivity and specificity of this test in our settings. 114 urine samples were collected from both HIV positive and HIV negative patients and were analysed using GACPAT. The test has a sensitivity of 92.3% and specificity of 100%. We feel that this test has a definite role in our country especially for surveillance purposes.
已知抗HIV抗体可在尿液和唾液中分泌。IgG抗体捕获颗粒黏附试验（GACPAT）已被证明可提供尿液中抗体的准确检测结果。本研究的目的是在我们的环境中研究该检测的敏感性和特异性。从HIV阳性和HIV阴性患者中收集了114份尿液样本，并使用GACPAT进行分析。该检测的敏感性为92.3%，特异性为100%。我们认为该检测在我国尤其在监测方面具有明确作用。
