Preview

• Tests with high sensitivity produce few false-negative results, whereas tests with high specificity produce few false-positive results


• Although these tests have high specificity, false positives do occur


• The best strategy, then, is to use a two-part testing procedure: a test with high sensitivity (to detect as many HIV-positive individuals as possible, allowing some false positives but very few false negatives), followed bya confirmatory testwith high specificity (to eliminate as many of the false positives as possible)
