Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
HIV p24 antigen/antibody specimens with reactive results require further investigation through additional supplemental tests. A negative test does not preclude exposure to or infection with HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Negative results may occur if the marker quantity in the sample is too low for detection or absent during disease stage collection.
