HI test (ch)

Patient discussion about HI test.

Q. hi everyone……I would like to ask everyone how reliable are the self tests that are being carried out for this. hi everyone……I would like to ask everyone how reliable are the self tests that are being carried out for pregnancy? I did try few at home and results are negative but I can see that my symptoms are pretty positive...……. Should I visit the doctor or can I rely on the test that I did myself?

A. They are very reliable, however if they are done too soon or not done properly they can be negative when there is actually a pregnancy. However, they will NOT give a positive if there is NOT a pregnancy.

The best time to take the test is first thing in the morning and using the first urine of the day. It contains the highest level of the pregnancy hormones.

Both the hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) and agar gel precipitin (AGP) tests were able to detect postinoculation antibodies in surviving wood ducks and laughing gulls; the HI test was more sensitive than the AGP in the remaining 4 species.
Serum samples, taken in late December 2002 or spring 2003, were tested for antibodies to WNV by HI assay, and subsequently by plaque reduction virus neutralization (PRVN) if the HI test was positive (8).
A subsample of the WNV antibody--positive samples by HI test was also examined by complement fixation (CF) and plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT).
