Duo Test Accuracy when combined with other tests

Hello,

I have a question regarding the HIV Duo Test Accuracy when combined with other test using the same Blood Sample, for my specific example:

Is a 3+ Month Negative Duo Conclusive if it was performed in conjuntion with a Hepatitis-C test?

Does performing multiple tests over the same blood sample affects the accuracy of a HIV Duo Test?

Thanks in advance

No they can do multiple tests out of a vial. You never had an HIV exposure to begin with.

So they dont use the whole Blood in the vial to perform a single test?
They draw a portion and add the reactors, the accuracy is the same, is that correct?
