Specimen Required
Patient Preparation
  
Collect
Lavender (EDTA), pink (K2EDTA), or plasma preparation tube.  
Specimen Preparation
Separate plasma from cells within 6 hours. Transfer 4 mL plasma to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 1.5 mL)  
Storage/Transport Temperature
Frozen.  
Unacceptable Conditions
Serum. Heparinized specimens.  
Remarks
Please submit most recent viral load and test date, if available.  
Stability
On cells: Ambient: 6 hours; After separation from cells: Ambient: 24 hours; Refrigerated: 5 days; Frozen: 4 months  
Reference Interval
By report  
Interpretive Data
The entire integrase-encoding region is sequenced. Mutations associated with resistance to integrase inhibitors are reported. Mutations in viral sub-populations below 20 percent of total may not be detected.

See Compliance Statement D: www.aruplab.com/CS  
Note
This test may be unsuccessful if the plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load is less than 500 HIV-1 RNA copies per mL of plasma.
