Please excuse my ignorance, I am just learning, while trying to run a FQHC at the same time. I had a HIV 4th generation screening come back +. It reflexed to antibodies, both negative. It then reflexed to HIV-1 RNA qualitative. I have spoke to the HD and they said false positive. In cases like this, do you do a HIV-2 p24 test? It seems it ruled out HIV-1, but no HIV-2.
This may seem like a dumb question, but I don't want to miss anything.
Pt is asymptomatic but is a past IV drug user. I want to make sure I am covering all the needed confirmatory tests.
Thank you
