Question

The presence of AIDS in an individual is confirmed by which test ?

Answer 1

• Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are typically used to detect antigens, though they can also be used to detect other substances, including antibodies, hormones, and drugs.
• ELISAs are widely used, for example, in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing.
• Similarly, the Western blot test separates the blood proteins and detects the HIV antibodies that indicate an HIV infection.
• Both are widely used in the detection of HIV.
