healtoronto/wbchart.pdf The criteria that define a positive test in Africa are different from those used in the rest of the world. An African who has antibodies which react with two of three proteins, p41, p120 and p160, is said to be HIV infected. However as far back as 1983, Montagnier accepted that p41 is a normal cellular protein, a view he has not subsequently altered. By 1989 evidence accrued which showed that p120 and p160 in the WB test are composed of subunits of p41. In other words, an African is deemed infected with HIV when he or she has antibodies which react with his or her own proteins.
