Abstract

A subtype B, E, and D immunoglobulin G capture immunoassay shows promise as a tool for estimating human immunodeficiency virus type 1 seroincidence from cross-sectional surveys, but the test-specific limitations suggest that an adjustment is necessary, and further validation of the assay with populations with divergent subtypes is needed.
