Clinical Overview
This HIV 1 & 2 Antibodies Western Blot is a confirmatory serological test that detects specific antibodies to HIV-1 (gp160, gp120, p66, p55, p51, gp41, p31, p24) and HIV-2 (gp140, gp105, p36) viral proteins. It is utilized after a reactive screening assay to definitively diagnose HIV infection, and when combined with Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), it can reveal host genetic susceptibility markers (e.g., CCR5-Δ32, HLA-B*57:01) influencing disease progression, fully aligned with 2026 UAE clinical practice.
