The simultaneous detection of antigen and antibody was originally described for the early detection of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The same approach was applied to detect the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The aim of this work was to use the antigen and antibody combination assay for the detection of HCV and HIV infections in expatriates in Eastern Saudi Arabia.
