Summary: This study assessed the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of using OraQuick Rapid HIV-1/2 for HIV screening among deceased individuals in a mortuary setting. The results showed that OraQuick had a high sensitivity and specificity for detecting HIV in decedents, similar to its performance among living subjects. It presents a convenient and non-invasive screening test for monitoring HIV among the deceased in a mortuary setting.
