Of the following blood tests, which confirms the presence of
antibodies to HIV?
a) Enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA)
ELISA, as well as Western blot assay, identifies and confirms the
presence of antibodies to HIV.
b) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
The ESR is an indicator of the presence of inflammation in the body.
c) p24 antigen
The p24 antigen is a blood test that measures viral core protein.
d) Reverse transcriptase
Reverse transcriptase is not a blood test. Rather, it is an enzyme that
transforms single-stranded RNA into a double-stranded DNA.
