Portuguese term

Det. tampão

Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals HIV/AIDS tests
The campaign is using 3 types of rapid tests for HIV/AIDS with the following trade names: Bio-Manguinhos (IFA), Fast-Check, and Determine (Abbott). After the following sentence below there is a table with a list of supplies. One column is headed with the abbreviation above. It comes in "fr.", which I presume is vials.

Na intensificação da Campanha, que compreendeu o período entre 10/04/2006 e 05/05/2006, o Laboratório Municipal de Curitiba, através do Fundo Municipal de Saúde adquiriu os seguintes insumos laboratoriais utilizados para a realização dos exames: 3.316 testes do método MEIA, 122 testes do método ELISA e 114 testes do método de Imunofluorescência.

Your assumption is correct, for vials. Eneida's commentes lead me to this hypothesis, which I also didn't know, and the examples confirmed its feasibility. There are many more examples that confirm it.
Note from asker:
I think you're onto something here! It comes in "fr.", which I assume to be vials. My original thought had been "buffer," but I didn't know it was used in HIV testing.

R-02 Tampão de Corrida 1 Fr. 5 mL

the way I understood it is they apply certain solutions to the collected specimens in order to process the test (or to chemically select parts of the materials to be tested) and this is one type of solution. (not my area of expertise) this text talks about eluents:

OBJECTIVE: To assess the detection and quantitation of HIV-1 from tampon eluents in comparison with cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) and plasma specimens from the same women. METHODS: Ninety-seven tampon, 105 CVL, and 104 plasma specimens from 105 HIV-1 seropositive women were analyzed using Version 3 of the Chiron bDNA assay, with sensitivity of 50 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml. Data analyses used McNemar's test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and Mantel--Haenszel chi-squared and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals to assess differences in proportions. RESULTS: In women for whom both plasma and genital specimens were available, HIV-1 was detected less frequently in genital specimens: [tampons (33/97, 34%) and CVL (48/104, 46%)] than plasma specimens (86/104, 83%) (P < 0.001 for both plasma versus tampon and for plasma versus CVL). However, the proportion of genital specimens with detectable virus did not differ significantly by collection method (P = 0.14). Among women with detectable virus using both collection methods (n = 23), viral load was similar for tampon eluents (median, 355 copies/ml; range, 52--120,898) and CVL specimens (median, 265 copies/ml; range, 61--35,637;P = 0.88). CONCLUSION: Tampon eluent specimens are slightly less sensitive than CVL specimens in the detection of genital HIV-1, although quantification of viral load, when detectable by both methods, was similar.

Hi Marion, here is my daughter's answer:
She says that without seeing the whole context is pretty hard to be sure, but det. could be short for detecção, determinação ou detergente. She says that they sometimes they detect HIV through other diseases and infections, so there can be a microscopic detection.
Also there are some products/solutions used in HIV detection, she says her "guess" here would be detergente. I tried : detergente+tampão+HIV and got quite a few hits on Google. See if they fit your context.

Note from asker:
It's supplied in quantities of "1 fr" per health unit. That part has me puzzled.
Also,they are blood tests, and the sample is taken with a finger prick.
