HIV PROVIRAL DNA QUALITATIVE REAL TIME PCR

Description

A HIV Proviral DNA Qualitative Real-Time PCR test detects the presence or absence of HIV proviral DNA, which is integrated into the host cell’s DNA, in a sample. It’s a qualitative test, meaning it indicates whether HIV is present or not, rather than quantifying the amount of virus. This test is particularly useful for infants born to HIV-positive mothers, resolving indeterminate Western blot results, and detecting early HIV infections.
