ABSTRACT
It is known that antibodies to HIV are secreted in urine and saliva. IgG antibody capture particle adherence test (GACPAT) has been shown to provide accurate results for antibodies in urine. The aim of the study was to study the sensitivity and specificity of this test in our settings. 114 urine samples were collected from both HIV positive and HIV negative patients and were analysed using GACPAT. The test has a sensitivity of 92.3% and specificity of 100%. We feel that this test has a definite role in our country especially for surveillance purposes.
