Abstract

Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) is an infection caused by the Human Immunodeficiency
Virus(HIV). The infection straight forwardly influences the cells of the insusceptible framework, especially

that can distinguish HIV contamination biomarkers inside 30days of disease, when beginning safe reactions
are mounted. The OraQuick ADVANCE Rapid HIV - 1/2 Antibody test is sensitive– utilizing subjective
immunoassay to distinguish the antibodies of HIV-1 and HIV-2 out of an oral liquid. Orasure Technologies
is enabling the worldwide network to improve wellbeing and health by giving access to precise fundamental
