Objective  To evaluate the performance of i3000 direct chemiluminescence detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen and antibody (Ag/Ab) screening assay (Maccura), compared with E170 electrochemiluminescence method (Roche, Elecsys® HIV Combi PT assay) and IS1200 indirect chemiluminescence method (Maccura). Methods  Ten HIV seroconversion panels and 11 p24 antigen positive samples from West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to December 2017 were used to evaluate the sensitivity of those three assays. A total of 351 samples were collected for consistency evaluation, including 350 HIV Ag/Ab test samples (200 HIV-1 positive plasma samples and 150 HIV 1+2 negative plasma samples) from West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to December 2017, and one commercial HIV-2 sera. A total of 98 interfere samples for HIV testing were collected from West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to December 2017. Results  In the sensitivity evaluation, there were 63 samples from the 10 seroconversion panels, in which Roche E170 detected 25 samples, Maccura i3000 detected 23 samples, and Maccura IS1200 detected 22 samples; Maccura i3000 and Roche E170 assays detected all the p24 antigen positive samples (11, 100%), while Maccura IS1200 only detected 10 samples. In the consistency evaluation, Maccura i3000 had nice consistency with both Roche E170 and Maccura IS1200 (kappa>0.9, P<0.001). In the interference evaluation, there were two false positives in Maccura i3000 detection, one case of rheumatoid arthritis and one case of syphilis. Conclusion  In addition to high throughput and good consistency, Maccura i3000 direct chemiluminescence reagent has high sensitivity and a short window period, which can meet clinical needs.
