LOINC description : This assay detects and differentiates between six distinct HIV antibodies: HIV-1 gp160,
gp41, p31, and p24 and HIV-2 gp140 and gp36. It is intended for use as an additional,
more specific test to confirm the presence of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies found by
screening procedures. It may also be used to confirm the presence of antibodies to
HIV-1 and HIV-2 in pediatric subjects (children as young as 2 years of age). Because
this assay examines antibodies to 6 distinct proteins, it yields a higher degree of
specificity for HIV-1 and -2 compared to other methods (such as Multispot). This term
was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's Bio-Rad Geenius HIV 1/2
Supplemental test kit.;
