Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the H3N2 & Influenza A viral load test for guiding antiviral therapy?
Real-time qPCR provides 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity with quantification of viral RNA copies/mL, enabling precise titration of neuraminidase inhibitors such as oseltamivir.
2. What sample types are accepted and how is the home collection performed?
We accept deep nostrils (nasal swab), nasopharyngeal swabs, nasopharyngeal aspirate, throat, or bronchial aspirate collected by a DHA-licensed phlebotomist using strict cold-chain protocol.
3. When will I receive my results and how are they interpreted?
Results are delivered within 24 hours by phone call and 36 hours by email; a DHA-licensed physician will explain your viral load values and clinical implications post-test.
