Overview
HLA-B5701 is a gene variant that is inherited from parents. It is involved in the immune system's response to infections. However, in some individuals, this gene variant increases the risk of an allergic reaction to abacavir, which is an antiretroviral medication used to treat HIV. HLA-B*5701 Associated HCP5 rs2395029 Genotyping is used to predict hypersensitivity to the drug abacavir in individuals due to a genetic association. This test is performed to identify individuals who are at a higher risk of developing hypersensitivity reactions to the drug abacavir, a medication commonly used for treating HIV.

Frequently Asked Questions
The HLA-B5701 Associated HCP5 rs2395029 genotyping test detects specific genetic variants in HLA-B5701 associated with HCP5 rs2395029.
• To predict hypersensitivity to the abacavir drug • To decide the need to prescribe abacavir for HIV treatment • To avoid the risk of a severe allergic reaction
This test is recommended for individuals who are about to start antiretroviral therapy and require abacavir-based medication. Individuals with a personal history of hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir or a family history of such reactions are also candidates for this test.
If the test result is positive for the HLA-B*5701 gene variant, you have an increased risk of developing a severe allergic reaction to abacavir.
This test requires a blood sample of 3-5 ml of EDTA whole blood taken from your arm. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Inform your doctor about any medications and supplements you are currently taking. Also, tell them if you have any specific requirements.
