POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE
Hi Sam.
Thank you for your email.
With regards to your questions, I called Ms. Sharon, the medical technician of RITM satellite Clinic with the permission of Dr. Ditangco. Here are her answers:
1. The two tests that are being done in the clinic for HIV testing are:
a. the Rapid Test
b. the Particle Agglutination Test
The rapid test is the initial screening and if it tests positive here, then the Particle
Agglutination Test will be conducted.
2. The manufacturer of the tests are:
a. SD Bioline for the Rapid Test
b. FujiRedio for the Particle Agglutination Test
3. The tests belong to the 3rd generation
I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
