how do you find out what test was used

[seekinginfo526]

I had my 3-month test done through Spectrum Laboratory Network.   Having lived through a hell of uncertainty much like many people on this forum, I am used to seeing tests talked about as ELISA, ICMA, or some other method.

But my test result sheet is very simple: it says the name of the test is "HIV Reflex" and the result is non-reactive.

I know the 'reflex' part means that if it was positive, they would immediately do a western blot.

Since this was supposed to close the chapter for me, I guess i just wish I knew what generation of test was used or what it was.  Does anyone who works in a lab or know about this area know what the predominant tests in the US are?  The lab's customer service couldn't locate the info.
