    Abstract:

    We have conducted studies with existing rapid HIV-1 serology technology for applicability in military operations. Studies on fresh and frozen serum and differing HIV subtypes have been conducted in both the research and field environments. Testing has been compared to reference technology for calculation of operating characteristics. Conclusion: Rapid HIV-1 testing technology is an evolving field subject to market demands. Several tests exist that support warfighter use in the field. However, these tests should still be utilized in the context of the medical risk decision making process.
