In other words, a specific test is one that produces true negative results. For example, the specificity of the Western Blot is very high; the test seldom mistakes antibodies to other diseases as antibodies to HIV. For that reason, the Western Blot is used to confirm a positive enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay ELISA or other HIV antibody test. véase también sensitivity, true negative
