To evaluate the clinical performance of each analyte (HIV, HBsAg, and Syphilis) on the TruPlex HIV/HepB/Syphilis Rapid Test (TruPlex Test) using capillary blood (fingerstick), EDTA whole blood, EDTA-plasma, and SST-serum samples collected by trained operators at point-of-care settings. Additionally, to evaluate the usability of the TruPlex test through: structured usability assessments, via a questionnaire, completed by trained operators in point-of-care settings.
A prospective study to evaluate TruPlex Test when used by trained users.
Non-invasive samples (fingerstick, EDTA whole blood, EDTA-plasma, and SST-serum) will be collected and tested on TruPlex Tests by healthcare professionals. The collected capillary and EDTA whole blood samples will be tested on TruPlex Tests. Subsequently, EDTA whole blood and SST whole blood samples will be further processed to obtain plasma and serum, respectively, for testing on the TruPlex. Additional venous whole blood samples will be collected and sent to the National Serology Reference Laboratory (NSRL) for confirmatory testing (HIV, Syphilis and HBsAg) using approved on-the-market assays. Any remaining samples will be stored for further discrepancy testing or future research use.
