The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 1 & 2 Antibodies Western Blot Test is a confirmatory test used to detect the presence of HIV antibodies in a person’s blood sample. It is typically used after an initial screening test, such as an HIV antibody test or an HIV rapid test, has produced a positive or indeterminate result. The Western Blot Test works by separating and identifying specific proteins from the HIV virus in a person’s blood sample. These proteins are then matched with specific antibodies to determine if they are present, indicating a positive HIV infection. The test is considered highly accurate and reliable, with a low rate of false positives. It is usually performed in a laboratory setting and requires specialized equipment and trained technicians to perform and interpret the results. It is important to note that the Western Blot Test is not used for diagnosing HIV infection on its own. It is used as a confirmatory test to support the initial positive or indeterminate result from a screening test. A positive Western Blot result indicates the presence of HIV antibodies and confirms the diagnosis of HIV infection. |
