| Test | Result | Reference range |
|---|---|---|
| HIV 1 (Antibody) | Non-Reactive | Non-Reactive |
| HIV 2 (Antibody) | Non-Reactive | Non-Reactive |

How a Viral Screen (HIV, HBsAg, HCV, VDRL) report is read
- This is a screening panel; reactive results require confirmation by a supplemental or confirmatory assay before a diagnosis is made.
- A non-reactive result does not exclude very recent infection during the serological window period.
- Results should be interpreted in conjunction with the clinical history and risk factors.
What commonly goes wrong with a Viral Screen (HIV, HBsAg, HCV, VDRL)
The practical errors that actually cause repeat samples and misread results, mostly at collection and at the point the result is read.
- Every one of these tests has a window period, so a negative result taken soon after a suspected exposure does not exclude infection and needs repeat testing at the appropriate interval. Fourth generation HIV assays shorten that window but do not abolish it.
- A reactive screening result is not a diagnosis. HIV requires confirmation through the national three-test algorithm, and a reactive HBsAg or anti-HCV screen needs confirmation before anything is issued to the patient.
- Anti-HCV detects antibody, so a reactive result cannot distinguish current infection from past cleared infection. Only HCV RNA answers that question, and reporting a reactive antibody as 'hepatitis C positive' is a real and common harm.
- Initially reactive results and results near the assay cut-off must be repeated in duplicate before reporting rather than issued off a single run. HIV testing in India also carries statutory requirements for informed consent and confidentiality, so results cannot be handed to relatives or sent to a shared number.
