Urine Test for HIV. A test that detects HIV antibodies in urine was approved by the FDA in 1996. This test is not generally available to consumers. It is usually marketed to insurance companies and to other countries. Note: urine has antibodies for HIV, not HIV itself, so HIV is not transmitted by urine.
In the clinical studies, urine and blood samples were taken from 298 patients diagnosed with AIDS and tested with both the Calypte HIV-1 Urine EIA and a licensed ELISA test using a blood specimen. The urine test was positive as an initial screening test 99.3% of the time in persons known to have AIDS.
