Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an infection that attacks the body’s immune system. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is grouped to the genus Lentivirus within the family of Retroviridae, subfamily Orthoretrovirinae . On the basis of genetic characteristics and differences in the viral antigens, HIV is classified into the types 1 and 2 (HIV-1, HIV-2). HIV-1 is subdivided into the groups M, N, O and P. HIV-1 group M viruses are subdivided into subtypes A to D, F to H, J and K. Recombination, i.e. the exchange of entire gene sequences at unselected positions, is observed when a target cell is infected with two different HIV subtypes. Statistically, approximately 1 in 400 newly produced virus particles is a recombinant .
Commonly used methods for detecting viral load of HIV-1 type include real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR . The clinical applications of viral load determination include: predicting disease progression, assessing ART treatment, and guiding ART program adjustment; it can also be used as a supplementary test for the diagnosis of HIV infection, and it can be used for the diagnosis of patients in the acute phase/window phase and advanced stage.
1. Sample Type: Serum, Plasma
2. High Accuracy: Effectively quantitatively the content of HIV-1 in the sample, and the result meets expectations.
3. Good Specificity: There is no cross-reaction with pathogens such as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and human cytomegalovirus.
4. Real-time Monitoring: The introduction of exogenous internal standards is used to monitor the entire extraction and PCR detection process.
- Early diagnosis of HIV infection.
- Monitoring viral loads in HIV-positive individuals undergoing antiviral therapy.
- Preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
- Ensuring blood transfusion safety.
- Surveillance and control of HIV epidemics.
