      This article reviews the biochemistry and serology necessary to understand laboratory tests for the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and provides a detailed discussion of currently available individual tests. These tests include the broad categories of antibody and direct viral detection assays. Clinical applications also are highlighted.
