Important<unk>  tests for the initial evaluation of patients with suspected<unk>  infection include screening tests with high sensitivity such as ELISA, dot blot, and latex agglutination assays, and confirmatory tests with high specificity such as western blot assays, P24 antigen assays, and nucleic acid testing. Two surrogate markers, the CD4 T-cell count (CD4 count) and the plasma<unk>  RNA viral load, are routinely used to asses immune function and levels of viremia. Resistance testing is becoming of greater importance in the management of<unk> /AIDS patients given the increased resistance to certain antiretroviral agents.
