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.
