Can someone please explain this test to me? - (May/20/2016 )

Hi, I am looking for help and hope someone here with the appropriate knowledge can help me. Recently I took an oral swab hiv test and when I looked up what is inside the test stick I found this information and it confused me. Can someone please explain what these are and how they are made? I would really appreciate it!

 

HIV 1 & 2 Peptides/Panel Members (Defibrinated), GP-36 Peptide (N/A), GP-41 Peptide (N/A)

Recombinant Protein A

This looks suspiciously like homework - google the following terms "GP-36", "GP-41" and "protein A", that should get you started for some basic knowledge.
