There are no FDA cleared or approved tests that can identify the 2009 H1N1 flu virus. FDA has granted Emergency Use Authorization for use of the rRT-PCR Swine Flu Panel on JBAIDS. Your sample was tested using this test because you may have been infected with the 2009 H1N1 flu virus. This test could help to determine whether you are infected so that public health officials could quickly identify a case and limit its spread. The results of this test, along with other information, may also help your doctor take better care of you.
