CertifiedLabsWhat is a HIV-1&2 Western blot by EIA - Serum Test?
The HIV-1 & 2 Western Blot by EIA (Enzyme Immunoassay) test is a confirmatory diagnostic method used to detect the presence of antibodies against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) types 1 and 2 in serum samples. It is typically employed when a previous HIV screening test (such as ELISA) has returned a reactive result. The Western Blot test works by separating viral proteins based on their size and then detecting these proteins using specific antibodies. This test can distinguish between HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections, offering crucial information about the specific type of HIV infection a person may have. In the process, the test creates a “blot” or strip where different HIV proteins appear as bands, which are then matched to known markers for HIV-1 and HIV-2. The appearance of specific bands confirms the presence of the virus. This test is highly reliable and helps rule out false-positive results from initial screening tests. The Western Blot test is used not only for confirmation of a diagnosis but also for understanding the type of HIV infection, which can inform treatment decisions. If you live in Bangalore you can schedule the HIV-1 & 2 Western Blot by EIA (Enzyme Immunoassay) test in Bangalore to screen for HIV.
