Accounting for False Positive HIV Tests: Is Visceral Leishmaniasis Responsible? [PDF]
Co-infection with HIV and visceral leishmaniasis is an important consideration in treatment of either disease in endemic areas. Diagnosis of HIV in resource-limited settings relies on rapid diagnostic tests used together in an algorithm.
