Includes
If HIV-1/2 Antibody Differentiation is Indeterminate or Negative, then HIV-1 RNA, Qualitative Real-Time PCR will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 87535).
Preferred Specimen
3 mL serum
Minimum Volume
2 mL
Other Acceptable Specimens
Plasma collected in an EDTA (lavender-top) tube
Instructions
Serum: Collect in a serum separator tube or red-top tube (no gel). The tube should be centrifuged after clotting. Spun serum separator tubes may be submitted at room temperature or refrigerated unopened without transfer to a plastic screw-cap vial. Red-top tube (no gel) serum should be transferred to a plastic screw-cap vial and submitted for testing.
Plasma: Collect in EDTA (lavender top) tube and centrifuge tube within 24 hours of collection. Transfer plasma to a plastic screw-cap vial, label as plasma, and submit for testing.
Submitted tubes must be labeled with patient identifier and submitted only for HIV testing.
