Test Overview
Chemiluminecent Immunoassay (CLIA)
To detect presence of HIV-1 p24 antigen and HIV-1/2/O antibodies which have been associated with AIDS. The performance of this assay has not been established with cord blood, neonatal specimens, cadaver specimens, heat-inactivated samples or body fluids other than serum or plasma.
Non-Reactive. Reactive results are repeated for verification; repeatable specimens are sent out for HIV Differentiation Confirmatory Testing.
