These bands are not usually accompanied by any of the major viral bands of diagnostic by any of the major viral bands of diagnostic significance (p24, gp41/120/160). The non-viral bands significance (p24, gp41/120/160).

The interpretation of indeterminate should The interpretation of indeterminate should notnot include include
reporting non-viral bands (e.g., p70). The rationale for this reporting non-viral bands (e.g., p70). The rationale for this

Summary and ConclusionsSummary and Conclusions
Due to manufacturer’s requirements, samples with non-viral bands Due to manufacturer’s requirements, samples with non-viral bands must be reported as “indeterminate”must be reported as “indeterminate”
Non-viral bands are:Non-viral bands are:– ““Just that”Just that”– Do not indicate presence of any virus, past, present or futureDo not indicate presence of any virus, past, present or future
Donors with non-viral bands represent 14% of total indeterminates and Donors with non-viral bands represent 14% of total indeterminates and are otherwise “safe” donors (RNA negative)are otherwise “safe” donors (RNA negative)
HIV-1 viral loads in seroconverting individuals with viral indeterminate HIV-1 viral loads in seroconverting individuals with viral indeterminate patterns exceed the cutoff of pooled NAT testing (patterns exceed the cutoff of pooled NAT testing (90% of cases); 90% of cases); none with non-viral patternsnone with non-viral patterns
Patterns of non-viral bands do Patterns of non-viral bands do notnot resemble any pattern seen in early resemble any pattern seen in early HIV-1 seroconversionHIV-1 seroconversion
