Custom antibodies are used in research. They can be customized specifically for various research areas helping to facilitate the researchers needs and goals. They are currently being used in animals to research drugs and disease processes.
To choose the appropriate secondary antibody for your experiment, consider the primary antibody used, the species it was raised in, and the detection method. Match the secondary antibody to the species of the primary antibody and ensure it is compatible with the detection method being used. Conduct a thorough literature review and consult with colleagues or antibody suppliers for recommendations.

Basically the test is to check for the HIV antibody and NOT the HIV virus itself.
Treponemal antibody tests are used to rule out false-positive results on reagin tests.
Custom antibodies are available, but they are for health science research and antibody oligos cost a lot, around 0.38 per 25nmole per base, meaning any sufficient quantity of antibody would be well over $1000. Here is a list of companies and specialties, sift through and you should find what you are looking for. http://www.antibodyresource.com/customantibody.html
Generally there are two antibodies used. Primary antibody which can bind specifically to the protein of interest. And a secondary antibody coupled with a detection system such as HRP that would bind the primary antibody and signals the presence of protein of interest.
fluorescent antinuclear antibody test, a test for antinuclear antibody components; used, in particular, for the diagnosis of collagen-vascular diseases.

You should start with 1 or 3 micrograms of antibody.
Antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins, abbreviated Ig) are gamma globulin proteinsthat are found in blood or other bodily fluids of vertebrates, and are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses..
Blood tests are usually used to check for syphilis.
