Understanding HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1) DNA Detection by Real Time PCR
HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1) is a virus that weakens the immune system by attacking CD4 cells (a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections). Once the virus enters the body, it integrates its genetic material into the host’s DNA, forming proviral DNA. The presence of proviral DNA is a key feature of HIV-1 infection and is used as a diagnostic marker for the disease. Detecting this proviral DNA helps confirm the presence of HIV infection, even when the virus is not actively replicating...
What does HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1) DNA Detection by Real Time PCR measure?
The HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1) DNA Detection by Real Time PCR test identifies the presence of HIV-1 DNA integrated into the white blood cells (WBC). This test is particularly helpful in early detection of HIV in infants born to HIV-positive mothers, or in individuals with low or undetectable viral loads.
