Abstract

Prompt confirmation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is critical. We examined 10 years of discordant results without reflex HIV RNA. Of patients with acute HIV infection, 43.9% (95% confidence interval, 36.2%-52.0%) had confirmation delays >30 days or were never confirmed, indicating a need for reflex RNA to facilitate diagnosis.
