  1. aPlasma samples were scored as HIV-like when they reacted with at least two HIV antigens and had a band intensity equal to or greater than the assay cutoff (+/−) lane; bSamples that reacted less strongly but still visibly with one or more HIV antigens were classified as indeterminate (Ind); cIncluding the three tissue samples; dIncluding two tissue samples.
