This test is not offered as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.

Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.

HVDSPHIV Ab Differentiation Prenatal, PYesNo
HIQNPHIV-1 RNA Detect/Quant Prenatal, PYesNo

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

This test begins with HIV-1/-2 antigen and antibody screen by the chemiluminescence immunoassay method. If the screen result is reactive, then HIV-1/-2 antibody differentiation test by immunochromatographic method is performed at an additional charge.

 

If HIV-1/-2 antibody differentiation is negative for both HIV-1 antibody and HIV-2 antibody, or indeterminate/negative for HIV-1/HIV-2 antibody, or indeterminate/indeterminate for HIV-1/ HIV-2 antibody, then HIV-1 RNA prenatal will be performed at an additional charge.
