June 2014—Siemens Healthcare submitted a Premarket Approval application for its Advia Centaur HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay to the Food and Drug Administration. The assay simultaneously detects the presence of HIV p24 antigen and antibodies, which could allow for earlier detection of HIV infection than antibody tests. The assay has been available for use in Europe since 2010.
