Test ID: HIQGP
HIV-1 Quantification with Reflex to Genotypic Drug Resistance Analysis and Phenotypic Resistance Prediction, Plasma
Secondary ID 
A test code used for billing and in test definitions created prior to November 2011
NY State Approved Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Quantifying plasma HIV-1 RNA levels (viral load) in HIV-1-infected patients
In patients with HIV-1 RNA levels >1,000 copies/mL, genotypic determination and prediction of phenotypic viral resistance to anti-HIV drugs is performed to guide therapy
Guiding initiation or change of antiretroviral regimens
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| VPHIV | HIV-1 Phenotypic Resist Prediction | No | No |
| GHIVR | HIV-1 Geno Reflex to Pheno Predict | Yes | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
If HIV-1 RNA quantification is > or =1,000, then HIV type 1 genotypic drug resistance mutation analysis will be performed at an additional charge.
If HIV type 1 genotypic drug resistance mutation analysis detects drug resistance mutations, then VPHIV/88781 HIV-1 Phenotypic Drug Resistance Prediction (Add-On) will be performed at an additional charge.
See HIV Treatment Monitoring Algorithm in Special Instructions.
