Thank you for your question.

I am sorry but I can not tell you the accuracy of the test you mentioned as it is not a test being used in British Columbia, Canada.

The best way to know the accuracy of the test you are having done is to ask at the place you do your testing. Because of the vast variety of HIV tests used around the world we are only able to comment on tests used within British Columbia.

I am sorry I can not give you more information.
