Clinical Interpretation

HIV Algorithm Recommendations:
HIVAgAb: If negative or nonreactive, no further testing needed.
If positive or reactive, reflex to HIV ½ Ab Confirmation.
HIVCONFM: If HIV AB Negative, or Indeterminate (HIV-1 Indtrmnt, HIV-2 Indtrmnt, HIV Indtrmnt) further testing is needed. Followup with HIV-1 RNA, Qualitative, TMA testing. Send EDTA (lavender) tube for sendout testing for HIV1TMA.
If HIV-1 Positive, the sample is positive for HIV 1 antibodies. If HIV 1 Pos*, the sample is positive for HIV 1 antibodies and indeterminate for HIV 2 antibodies. Further testing may be recommended if clinically necessary.
If HIV-2 Positive, the sample is positive for HIV 2 antibodies. If HIV 2 Pos*, the sample is positive for HIV 2 antibodies and indeterminate for HIV 1 antibodies. Further testing may be recommended if clinically necessary.
If HIV-2 + wHIV-1, the sample is positive for HIV-2 antibodies with HIV-1 cross-reactivity. Further testing may be recommended if clinically necessary.
If HIV POS Untype, the sample is positive for HIV antibodies, but is untypable. Further confirmatory HIV-1 and HIV-2 nucleic acid testing (NAT) is recommended.
HIV1TMA: If positive, it confirms HIV-1 infection in persons who may have an acute HIV-1 infection or repeatedly test positive for HIV-1 infection using the HIVAgAb.
If negative, it helps to resolve indeterminate or inconclusive HIV results. Further or repeat testing may be needed if suspicion is still present.
