Acquired immuno deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by at least two retroviruses, the HIV 1 and the HIV 2, collectively referred to as HIV 1 / 2. Antibodies to HIV 1 core protein p24, transmembrane protein (gp 41) and/or antibodies to HIV 2 transmembrane protein (gp 36) are prevalent in the sera of individuals with AIDS, ARC or at high risk of contracting AIDS. Detection of these antibodies indicates exposure to the HIV 1/2 virus |
