Secondary outcome

Background summary
There is a growing demand by epidemiologists as wel as individuals for home
screening of HIV as part of sexual transmitted deseases. A new blood
sampling device makes it possible to do home sampling of capillairy
(fingerprick) blood and additionally sending tot a laboratory for analysis.

Technical validation of HIV antibody detection in capillairy blood sampled with
the Demecal set.
Study design
Twenty HIV positive patients visiting the HIV outpatient clinic for routine
bloodsampling will be asked to participate in the study. Upon informed consent
an extra tube of blood will be drawn during routine venous blood sampling
subsequently a capillairy blood will be sampled by the Demecal devise. In the
Demecal device cells and plasma will be separated. In the laboratory HIV
antibodies will be maesured in the Demecal obtained plasme as well as the extra
