Re: Bro who went testing at that period take note..
thanks for sharing.
SINGAPORE: Nine lots of a brand of HIV screening test kits have been recalled, after it was found that the kits could result in false negative results for some people in the early stages of an HIV infection, announced the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) on Monday (Jun 5). The affected lots of SD Bioline HIV Ag/Ab Combo were supplied to 26 clinics and as well as the National University Hospital (NUH), and they were issued an urgent notice by the kits' local importer Unison Collaborator on May 11. NUH and the clinics were advised to stop using the kits and to retest people who had tested negative using the affected lots. "According to the manufacturer, when a patient is in the very early window period, the lower sensitivity of the affected lots may reduce detection, with the possibility of a false negative result for this subset of patients," said HSA in a news release. In response to media queries, HSA said it does not know how many people were tested with the affected kits as it does not have data on the usage of such test kits. It did say, however, that a total of 547 kits - each containing 25 tests - were supplied to the healthcare facilities. SD Bioline HIV Ag/Ab Combo is a rapid HIV Antigen and Antibody combo test, which allows users to screen for an HIV infection earlier. There is usually a window period of up to three months during the early stages of infection when blood tests may be unable to detect the virus, but rapid test kits are able to shorten that window period. As a precautionary measure, HSA said all 36 healthcare facilities in Singapore supplied with this brand of test kit - not only the affected lots - have been told to stop using them and to turn to other brands of rapid HIV test kits until further notice. It added that people with high risk of HIV exposure who have taken a rapid HIV test between February 2016 and May 2017 should to check with their clinic on the need for a re-test. The list of healthcare facilities supplied with the affected lots can be found here. HSA also stated that all rapid HIV tests are not meant to confirm an infection and are to be used only as an initial screening test. Positive rapid test results must be confirmed by sending a blood specimen to a clinical laboratory for Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) testing and further confirmatory testing by Western Blot if necessary.

Consumer advisory
5 The following persons with high risk of HIV exposure who have taken a rapid HIV test between February 2016 and May 2017 are advised to check with their clinic on the need for a re-test: (i) Tested negative for HIV infection at the clinics listed on Annex A between February 2016 and May 2017; AND (ii) Did not return as advised for a re-test more than 3 months after the last exposure. 6 Healthcare providers routinely advise persons with high risk of HIV exposure who tested negative for HIV infection using any brand of rapid HIV test kits to return for another test more than 3 months after their last exposure to confirm that they are HIV negative. This is to rule out early infections that might not have been picked up at the first screening. 7 Alternative brands of HIV test kits are available. There is no disruption to the offer of these services to persons who would like to test their HIV status. Individuals seeking rapid HIV testing services may continue to be tested at all existing 99 medical clinics across Singapore. For further clarification, please contact HSA at Tel: 68661048. |

Re: Bro who went testing at that period take note..
Yup, this is for 4th gen. Those using determine rapid kit etc all not affected. I thought usually with 4th gen test, they will need to get another confirmation 3 months later?
Unfortunate event. This fuckers cannot even control their production line properly. This company can really fuck it already |

Re: Bro who went testing at that period take note..
This is a huge screw up by the company. From Feb 2016 to May 2017. Somemore sensitivity has issue means cannot filter out those true positive. Which means if those positive continue to raw their partners, I think end of the day company kana sue till pants drop

Re: Bro who went testing at that period take note..
It really depends. Each case is different. See a doctor like Dr Jeremy Chan or Dr Tan & Partners to enquire more.
