ABSTRACT:
A rapid and accurate test kit is discussed for the detection of antibodies to HIV in saliva. The identification of antibodies to HIV in the saliva of seropositive individuals is shown using a test kit that requires no special machinery or skill and can be conducted by a single person in the privacy of their own home.
