Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) DNA Sequencing Protease−Reverse Transcriptase

CPT Call client services.
Synonyms
  • Cell-associated Viral DNA
  • HIV-1 Genotype
  • Resistance Analysis

Test Details

Methodology

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and next generation DNA sequencing

Result Turnaround Time

10 - 14 days

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.

Use

Detect resistance of HIV-1 to protease and reverse transcriptase inhibitors in cell-associated viral DNA.

Limitations

This procedure should be used for patients with documented HIV-1 infection and undetectable viral load or low level viremia.

Specimen Requirements

Specimen

Whole blood, frozen

Volume

4 mL

Container

Lavender-top (EDTA) tube

Collection Instructions

Collect specimen in lavender-top (EDTA) tube. Do not centrifuge. Ship frozen. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

Storage Instructions

Freeze.

Causes for Rejection

Quantity not sufficient for analysis; heparinized plasma; nonfrozen specimen
