## Notice

Public Health England (PHE) has awarded a contract for the provision of H1V-1 LAg-Avidity ElA kits to Sedia Biosciences Corporation, which is used to monitor recent HIV infection in people in newly diagnosed with HIV as part of national Surveillances. To ensure comparability of data, the same assay is required over time to minimise any variation between assays performance. Sedia LAg assays are used to monitor recent infections in the UK.
