  1. Replacement of HIV-1 p24 Antigen Screening with HIV-1 RNA Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) for Whole Blood Donations S.L. Stramer, R.A. Porter, J.P. Brodsky, K.J. Waldman, R.Y. Dodd, T.A. Armstrongand G.D. Griffin

  2. Background • Since the implementation of p24 HIV-1 antigen (Ag) screening in March, 1996, only 5 Ag positive window-case donations have been identified • Due to low Ag yield and the improved sensitivity of NAT screening for HIV-1, replacement of Ag with HIV-1 NAT should be possible

  3. HIV-1 p24 Antigen Testing Experience During 2 years of testing 14 million donations (ARC), 136 samples were HIV-1 p24 Ag confirmed positive • 58 were false positive (based on RNA negativity, lack of seroconversion, and nonreproducible Ag neutralization) = 1:241,379 • 74 were HIV Ab positive • 4 were recently infected seroconverting donors • As of November 1999, 5 seroconverting donors identified in 23 million donations • 1:4.6 million (ARC) • 1:9.2 million (US)

  4. Samples for Testing • p24 Ag and HIV NAT reactive yield samples (N=4) • Tested undiluted and diluted 1:128 in RNA-negative defibrinated plasma • Commercial seroconversion samples (N=25) • Tested undiluted and diluted 1:128 • Diluted p24 Ag “External Control” sample that is tested on all NAT runs (N=437) • 3 Ag+/Ab– units (S/CO 1-2 Coulter) pooled • Pool diluted 1:16

  18. Conclusions • High RNA titers (»105 copies/mL) correspond with p24 Ag positivity • No p24 Ag reactive sample was found NAT nonreactive even using a pool size of 128 • NAT, even using pools of 128, is more sensitive than screening with the currently licensed tests for HIV-1 p24 Ag. According to these data, the Ag test could be replaced by the use of licensed pooled NAT
