The tests used as diagnostic means mainly include anti HIV antibody test, virus culture, nucleic acid test and antigen test. Among them, the detection of viral antibodies is the most commonly used method. This is not only because of the high specificity and sensitivity of this type of detection, but also because the method is relatively simple and mature. The more important reason is that HIV antibodies are stable and can be detected for a long time in the whole life period after virus infection except for the early short “window period”. In some special cases, when antibody detection cannot meet the needs of HIV infection diagnosis, virus isolation and detection, nucleic acid detection and antigen detection can be used as auxiliary means, including the diagnosis of atypical serological reaction samples, window diagnosis of HIV infection, early diagnosis of newborn infants and diagnosis of special samples.
