Summary | This is a scientific paper that questions the reliability of HIV antibody tests as a definitive proof of HIV infection. The authors argue that these tests are not standardized or reproducible, and the proteins used in the tests may not actually be specific to HIV. They emphasize the need for a gold standard, such as the HIV virus itself, to validate the accuracy of these tests. The paper calls for a careful reevaluation of the use of HIV antibody tests in predicting, diagnosing, and studying HIV infection.
