dc.description.abstractAim: Detecting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is very importantin terms of quality of patients’ lives. However, it should be kept in mind that there may be falsepositives and tests must be confirmed. In this study, it was aimed to determine HIVseropositivity in our hospital for a period of six years and to contribute to the epidemiologicaldata of the country.Material and Methods: The samples that came to serology laboratory between January 2014and December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Anti-HIV antibodies were screened in atotal of 180,413 samples by the macro-ELISA method (Architect i2000sr, Abbott, USA).Patient samples were sent to the National HIV/AIDS Confirmation and Viral HepatitisReference Laboratory for verification of reagents results.Results: Anti-HIV results of 178 (0.1%) of 180,413 patients whose blood serum samples werestudied with the macro-ELISA method were evaluated as reactive. Confirmation test of 102patients were negative while 76 were positive. Patients with positive confirmation resultaccount for 0.04% of all patients. While 67 (88.2%) of the patients with positive confirmationwere male and 9 (11.8%) were female. The ages of 26-35 and 36-45 years were equal with thehighest number of new cases detected (n=20, 26.3%).Conclusion: As a result of our retrospective evaluation, HIV seropositivity, gender and agedistributions in our hospital were found to be compatible with the data of our country and otherstudies conducted in our country. The high false positivity rate of screening tests, againindicates the importance of confirmation tests.en_US
