Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of the HTLV-I/II Antibody Confirmation Test?
The test uses a line immunoassay to confirm the presence of HTLV antibodies, differentiating between HTLV-I and HTLV-II. This helps diagnose associated conditions such as Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATLL) and HTLV-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP).
2. How should I prepare for the test?
No fasting is required. A 2 mL serum sample is collected in an SST tube. You must sign the mandatory Send Out Consent Form (Form 35) before collection. The sample is shipped refrigerated or frozen to the laboratory.
3. When will I receive my results?
Results are typically available 2–3 weeks after the monthly cutoff on the 7th of each month. Samples received by that date are processed in the next batch. You will be notified once your report is ready.
