The positive predictive value for the third-generation test was 46% and 70% for the fourth-generation test. There were fewer false-positive results with testing with the more specific fourth- vs third-generation assay (0.09% vs 0.37%, respectively), which was statistically significant ( = .002). This reduction in false-positive screening would reduce the laboratory workload and would save an estimated $3,875 yearly and reduce the adverse effects of false-positive screening results for patients. There were fewer false-positive resu
