LOINC Code 96556-6: HIV 1 and 2 RNA NAA+probe Nom

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 & 2 RNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser/Plas.

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.
