An example may clarify: if tested in Africa, a WB showing reactivity to any two of the proteins p160, p120, or p41, would be considered positive for HIV. In Britain, the test would be positive only if it showed reactivity to one of these three proteins, together with reactions to two other proteins, p32 and p24 (see mention of p24, above, as occurring in healthy individuals).
Therefore, someone whose test reacts to p160 and p120 would be considered HIV-positive in Africa, but not in Britain. A test reaction to p41, p32, and p24 would be considered positive in Britain, but negative in Africa,
leading author Celia Farber to comment: “… a person could revert to being HIV-negative simply by buying a plane ticket from Uganda to Australia [or in our example, from Uganda to London” (14), p. 163].
i would refer to that as sensitivity, not the algorithm. You imply that an algorithm ( a mathematical computation) is applied at the point of testing. You input mathematical/arithmetic data for an algorithm to read, not a blood sample. Simply say; lists from different manufacturers may have varied sensitivity. A kit from a manufacturer can be used in any part of the world and the results should naturally be the same for the said kit, but a different manufacturers kit say otherwise regardless of geographical location. Back to your analogy, when you buy a ticket back to Uganda, please buy the same kit and come test from Ugandan soil. the result should be the same in my two cents opinion
Bro najua you’re all about the fuck boy life. But trust me use protection. There’s no better feeling than waking up in the morning and you’re safe and don’t feel funny. Ukimwi is real na ata kama you doubt that STDs are a son of a bitch if you can’t afford quality healthcare. Msee hizi local clinics hazitakusaidia detecting STDs let alone treating them. Sikukashifu kuwa fuck boy but bro for the sake of yourself, your family and your future family have safe and protected sex. And that applies to everyone in this village.
