Abstract
The Western blot is frequently used to confirm human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) screening tests as it permits the identification of antibodies to individual component polypeptides of HIV-1. The procedure is described and different criteria for evaluation of HIV-1 Western blots are compared. The significance and management of indeterminate blot patterns are discussed.
