Test Overview & Methodology
This molecular test detects the genetic material (RNA) of HIV-1 virus using Qualitative Real-Time PCR (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test, NAAT). It enables diagnosis as early as 10 days post-exposure, prior to seroconversion. The test is highly sensitive and specific, providing a definitive qualitative result (detected or not detected) for HIV-1 RNA in plasma.
