Preanalytics/Notes:

· p24 antigen becomes detectable prior to antibody development (narrowing the diagnostic gap).

· In patients undergoing high-dose biotin treatment (> 5 mg per day) the sample should be taken at least 8 hours after the last application, as high biotin blood level may interfere with the test system.
