Clinical Significance
This assay is intended to be used as part of a multi-test HIV-1/HIV-2 diagnostic algorithm.
A NEGATIVE HIV-1/HIV-2 differentiation assay does not exclude HIV infection since the time frame for seroconversion is variable. If appropriate sample remains, the algorithm will continue with a HIV-1 RNA Qualitative TMA test.
