Antibody Avidity and HIV Testing. The reason that avidity tests can be used to determine the length of an HIV infection is that over time, the avidity of the anti-HIV antibodies made by the immune system will improve. This method, however, is limited by prompt, effective treatment.
A Toxoplasma-positive reaction, stained by immunofluroescence (IFA). The diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is typically made by serologic testing. A test that measures immunoglobulin G (IgG) is used to determine if a person has been infected. If it is necessary to try to estimate the time of infection, which is of particular importance for pregnant women, a test which measures immunoglobulin M (IgM) is also used along with other tests such as an avidity test.
