Discreet is very similar to the ELISA test which is currently being used in most hospitals. Although both the ELISA and Discreet are HIV antibody tests, the ELISA test is designed for bulk hospital testing and is capable of analyzing up to two hundred blood samples at a time, where as Discreet is more effective for individual HIV blood testing.
