Other: Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing
The Gen-Probe Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA) technology exponentially amplifies captured HIV-1 and HCV RNA in blood samples. The Gen-Probe system is available in two commercially available FDA approved products; 1) the Procleix assay is a multiplex system that is used to screen the blood supply for HIV and HCV. This assay will allow the simultaneous detection of all known HIV-1 subtypes with sensitivities designed to reduce the window period of false negative results from standard HIV antibody testing (EIA), while maintaining the ability to discriminate positive from negative specimens, even at very low copy numbers (Giachetti, Linnen et al., 2002).
