Add to ORKGBackground. Identifying persons with recent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody seroconversion is useful for treatment, research, and prevention, but the sensitivity and specificity of tests for this purpose are uncertain. Methods. We used longitudinal specimens panels from 155 persons identified prior to HIV seroconversion to assess antibody-based methods for classifying persons as within 30, 60, or 90 days of seroconversion, including 2 incidence assays, a less-sensitive (LS) enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and the BED assay. Results. Sensitivity and specificity, respectively, for identifying persons within 30 days of seroconversion were: 34%–57 % and 98%–100 % for 2 standard EIAs (employing a signal-to-cutoff#4.0;$1.0 defines HIV posit...
