Abstract
Abstract: At our medical center, HIV nucleic acid tests are recommended when the HIV antigen-antibody screening immunoassay and antibody differentiation tests are discordant, but not done reflexively. A retrospective chart review found that 35% of discordant test results did not have HIV nucleic acid test completed as recommended.
