Clinical Relevance
HIV qualitative testing detects the presence or absence of HIV infection, making it essential for early diagnosis, especially during the window period before antibodies develop. It is critical for blood and blood-product screening, organ/cord blood donor screening, and pre-operative testing to prevent transmission. Qualitative HIV assays are also used for early infant diagnosis, confirmation of indeterminate serology, and screening in high-risk or exposed individuals.
