This test identifies the presence of the HLA-B*57:01 allele, which is associated with hypersensitivity to the HIV drug abacavir.
It is essential for screening HIV patients prior to starting abacavir therapy to avoid severe hypersensitivity reactions.
A blood sample is analyzed using PCR-based molecular techniques to detect the HLA-B*57:01 allele.
A positive result indicates increased risk of abacavir hypersensitivity. A negative result suggests the drug may be used safely.
No special preparation is needed.
