False Positivity in Anti-HIV Tests: Causes and Determination of a Reliable Cut-Off Value

2025-06-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold> Currently, fourth-generation assays detecting HIV-1/2 antibodies and p24 antigen are widely used as screening tools for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, false-positive (FP) results remain a significant issue additional confirmatory testing. This study aimed to identify factors associated with false positivity and to determine an optimal cut-off index...
