Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Screening for and detection of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 antibodies in hemolyzed serum specimens from nonsymptomatic individuals with or without risk factors for HIV infection (assay kit is FDA-approved for testing hemolyzed blood specimens)
Reflex Tests Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIVFA | HIV-1 Ab Confirm by IFA, S | Yes | No |
| HIV2 | HIV-2 Ab Eval, S | Yes | No |
| WBAR | HIV-1/-2 Ab Confirm Eval, S | Yes | No |
| HIV2L | HIV-2 Ab Confirmation, S | Yes | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
This test begins with HIV-1/-2 antibody EIA. If HIV-1/-2 antibody EIA is reactive, then HIV-1/-2 antibody confirmatory evaluation is performed at an additional charge. HIV-1/-2 antibody confirmatory evaluation is a reflex test that includes HIV-1 Western blot (WB) assay and, when appropriate and at an additional charge, HIV-2 EIA, HIV-1 immunofluorescence, and HIV-2 antibody confirmation.
