73905-2
LaboratoryHIV 1+2 IgG Ab [Presence] in Serum or Plasma by Rapid immunoassay
Definition
HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 IgG antibodies can be detected in serum or plasma specimens by rapid immunoassays. Results are used for HIV screening in community, public health, and clinical settings. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, Alere's Clearview COMPLETE HIV 1/2 immunochromatographic assay, which detects but does not differentiate between HIV 1 & 2 IgG antibodies. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
