What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component HIV 1 RNA+proviral DNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: ACTIVE
• Order vs observation: Both
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• HIV 1 RNA+proviral DNA [Presence] in Blood by NAA with probe detection
• HIV 1 RNA+proviral DNA
• This assay detects the presence of HIV 1 RNA and HIV 1 proviral DNA but does not distinguish between the two. If either the RNA or proviral DNA is detected, the reported result is "Detected." This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the Abbott Realtime HIV-1 Qualitative assay.
