The PROCLEIX HIV-1/HCV Assay can simultaneously detect the presence of HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) in donated blood. Gen-Probe received approval of its Biologics License Application (BLA) for the PROCLEIX HIV-1/HCV Assay in 2002, making it the first FDA-approved nucleic acid test for screening donated human blood. In the United States, blood bank customers use PROCLEIX products to safeguard more than 80 of the blood units donated annually. The assay is also approved and used regularly in more than 20 countries.
