LaboratoryHIV 1 and 2 Ab [Identifier] in Serum or Plasma by Rapid immunoassay
Definition
Test is a rapid enzyme immunoassay used as a diagnostic aid for the detection and differentiation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in serum or plasma. This code is based on, but not limited to, BIO-RAD's Multispot HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Test, which was approved in June of 2012 by the FDA for distinguishing HIV-1 from HIV-2 and is being considered as a replacement for Immune blot for the confirmation of positive HIV EIA tests by routine methods.
