ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo verify and promote the HIV antibody urine test in a demonstration zone for HIV prevention and control in Xinjiang， and to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the test and the willingness of the volunteers， providing a basis for evaluating and determining whether it was suitable for large-scale use in the region. MethodsStratified cluster sampling was used to select the respondents in a place in Xinjiang for questionnaire survey and sample collecting. Questionnaire results were statistically described， and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of willingness to use HIV-1 urine test. The results of blood ELISA antibody detection method were used as a reference to calculate the specificity， sensitivity and Kappa value of urinary HIV-1 antibody in the total population and different populations. ResultsA total of 2 504 volunteers were recruited for the urine self-testing. The sensitivity of HIV-1 antibody urine test in the total population was 94.73% （54/57）， the specificity was 100% （2 447）， the positive predictive value was 100% （54/54）， and the negative predictive value was 99.88% （2 447/2 450）. The specificity of each population group was 100% when comparing different populations. The test sensitivity was 100% in pregnant women， prostitutes and drug users， 50% （1/2） in MSM subjects， with a Kappa value of 0.796. The test sensitivity was 80% （8/10） in the volunteers， with a Kappa value of 0.878. In the satisfaction survey， 73.1% population was more likely to receive urinary rapid test than the blood fast test， 93.8% of the population was willing to recommend the rapid urinary detection to other people. More than 70% of the population was satisfied with the rapid urinary detection. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age， degree of education， occupation， marital status， payment method of medical expenses， and income level were the influence factors of the purchase of urine fast reagent for the self-testing （P<0.05）. ConclusionUrinary HIV-1 antibody detection method has good reliability and public satisfaction. It is suitable for large-scale use in Xinjiang.
