Abstract
Methods for the early detection of HIV infection by detecting a change in signal transduction mediator activity, particularly, an enzyme mediator, more particularly a member of the src protein tyrosine kinase family. The methods are applicable to HIV detection with serum, plasma, blood cell lysates, urine and saliva media. The methods provide a very early, reliable, specific and sensitive test of seronegative HIV infection that is affordable and practical on a large scale.
