A tour of Mayo Clinic's virology and serology labs showing how antigen-antibody and nucleic acid tests detect HIV.
The serology and virology lab teams play a critical role in HIV diagnosis. Using their expertise, they carefully analyze samples to detect the virus early and accurately. From antigen-antibody tests that identify viral proteins and immune responses, to antibody tests and nucleic acid tests (NATs) that detect the virus itself, these specialists ensure every result guides safe, timely care. Their work helps providers confirm diagnoses, plan follow-up testing, and support patients through treatment decisions — turning complex science into meaningful, life-changing careWhy it's here
