LATEST DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR HIV,HEPATITIS B AND SYPHILIS

There are 3 types of diagnostic tests ie. Determine HIV 1/2, Determine

HBsAg and Determine Syphilis TP. All of these are the latest simple,

rapid diagnostic tests that can help healthcare provider to diagnose

individual HIV, Hepatitis B and syphilis infection.

Why Determine??

Firstly, all diagnostic tests above are very RAPID, it's take only 15

minutes, patients can be tested and treated in the same visit.

Secondly, the procedure is very SIMPLE, just 2 steps ie. Step 1,add 50

micro liter of sample to pad.(If using whole blood,please add chase

buffer). Step 2, wait 15 minutes, then read the result. (2 red

bars=positive, 1 red bar=negative)

Thirdly, all tests above are very FLEXIBLE. Heathcare provider can use

whole blood or serum/plasma and collection can be by finger prick or

venipuncture.

Lastly, it is easy to transport and store in nearly any environmental

condition(2-30 Celsius).

With all these above, may be it will be easier for the healthcare

provider to minimise the number of cases of sexually transmitted

diseases in Malaysia.
