Summary We screened 17,373 preoperative out patient blood samples using 4th generation lateral flow immunochromatography Daina Screen HIV Combo assay for simultaneously detecting anti-HIV-1/2 and HIV-1 p24 antigen. Of the samples tested, 24 were positive for HIV-1 p24 antigen and 49 for HIV-1/2 antibody. Of the 49, samples, 36 were WB and HIV-1 RNA negative, 10 were WB and HIV-1 RNA positive, and 3 were WB positive, HIV-1 RNA negative, and in-house HIV-1 proviral DNA positive. RT-PCR revealed that of the 24 samples that were p24 antigen positive, one sample was HIV-1 RNA positive, which was reconfirmed using an in-house HIV-1 provirus DNA assay. From the 17,300 HIV-1 p24 antigen and anti-HIV-1/2 negative samples, pools containing 10 negative samples each were tested for HIV-1 by RT-PCR; all results were negative. The Daina Screen HIV Combo assay had a sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 99.7%, respectively, which sufficiently detected HIV infection in the cohort.
