False-Positive HIV-1 Test Results in a Low-Risk Screening Setting of Voluntary Blood Donation

23 Sept 1998

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Persons at risk of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection, have been classified incorrectly as HIV infected because of Western blot results, but the frequency of false-positive Western blot results is unknown. OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency of false-positive HIV-1 Western blot results in US blood donors and to make projections to other screened populations. Secondarily, to validate an...
