The Western blot test is an important test for diagnosing HIV/AIDS. It uses a blood sample to detect the presence of antibodies to HIV in the blood. The test was first developed in 1985 by Irwin J. Dimitry at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Western blot test is highly specific and is considered the gold standard for confirming HIV infection.
