Test Code HIV12 HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab

Important Note

8/5/26: Due to a national backorder stemming from manufacturing issues/raw materials shortage, NAH Labs have very limited supply of HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab test kits. These will be reserved for exposure protocols. All other samples will be sent to Mayo until further notice (HVCOP or HIVSS). Turnaround times will be 24-48 hours. This shortage is expected to last 30-60 days. Updates will be provided when able.
