All 16 respondents performed an HIV and Syphilis assay, 15 respondents performed an HBsAg assay, 13 respondents performed HCV and 11 HTLV assay. The table 9 shows the false positive and false negative results reported for each parameter. The total of the false negative results reported was 2.6 % in 189 determinations performed in positive samples and 4.5 % of false positive result in 404 determinations performed in negative samples.

8 Performance result of the participants The performance qualification A was attributed to 9 participants to all tests reported. 3 participants had good performance, but reported a few false positive results. Qualification B1 and or B2 to one or two parameter was attributed to them. Qualification C was attributed to 4 participants. Each participant reported false negative result to different parameter: anti HIV (sample 1), HBsAg (sample 1 and 6), Syphilis (sample 6), and anti-htlv (sample 5).
