RNA PCR TEST FOR HIV
A new test for HIV has been developed and is being
used to help detect HIV in a matter of hours. The test,
called RNA-PCR, can detect HIV in saliva, urine, and
blood.
The RNA-PCR test is able to detect HIV within a few
hours of the individual being exposed to the virus. It
was also found that the test was able to detect HIV in
90% of individuals who were recently infected with
HIV.
An RNA-PCR test can detect the presence of the virus that
causes AIDS, HIV, in a person's blood. The test uses a lab
technique called polymerase chain reaction to analyze the
genetic material in a sample.
A doctor will draw blood from a person suspected of having
HIV and then use a series of enzymes to break down the
cells' DNA and separate the viral RNA from the rest of the
DNA.
In the past, HIV testing was done with a
blood test. However, these tests only
detect the presence of HIV antibodies and
cannot determine whether or not a person
is infected.
The new RNA-PCR test is able to detect the
presence of both antibodies and the virus
itself.
This test can be done during a routine
blood draw or as an oral swab.
This test is effective in preventing sexual
transmission of HIV and it can be used as
part of a routine screening for people at
high risk for HIV, such as men who have
sex with men, transgender individuals, and
those living with HIV.
The latest technology for HIV testing is the
RNA PCR test. This test is about as
accurate as a traditional HIV antibody test.
RNA PCR tests are more expensive and
take longer to process, but the results are
more reliable.
The test can detect HIV within days of the
first exposure, unlike the antibody test
which takes around 3 weeks.
This compound will break down the
RNA and then make copies of it. The
copies of the RNA are then amplified
and put into a machine that can
detect the presence of HIV.
This test is often used as a part of
an antibody test to detect the
presence of HIV antibodies.
