A member asked:
Are hiv -1 antybodies unique to each hiv 1 type and subtype or are hiv antibodies universal. similar ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV1 antibodies, and the antigens used in the AgAb (4th generation) blood tests are universal, i.e. they detect any and all strains of HIV1. The standard blood tests also detect all HIV2 infections, but with a somewhat longer window period.
