Which tests are included in EBAA required sero tests?

EBAA requires a specific set of serologic donor screening tests. The three mandated markers are HIV-1/2 antibodies, hepatitis C virus antibodies, and hepatitis B surface antigen. Together they cover the main transfusion-transmissible infections: HIV and HCV indicate exposure to those viruses, while HBsAg detects active hepatitis B infection and potential infectiousness. Including all three helps prevent transmission from infected donors. The other options miss at least one of these essential markers (testing only for HIV antibodies, or only for HBsAg, or only for HCV antibodies), so they don’t meet the required serology.
