The National HIV Reference Laboratory undertook a one-week prospective study to determine the time taken by Australian human immunodeficiency virus antibody (anti-HIV) testing laboratories to test a sample and report an anti-HIV-1 result. The study showed that more than 86% of the sample results were reported by the second day and more than 98% by the fourth day after receipt of the specimen.
