Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is recognized as a known viral agent that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Thus, monitoring of viral load in HIV-1 infection patients is an essential test for establishment of therapeutic strategy and determination of therapeutic progress. A RT (Reverse transcriptase) PCR test is used to measure the amount of HIV RNA. Because this test looks for HIV directly in a person's blood instead of detecting antibodies, it is used by researchers and health care providers to identify infections during the window period.

Features and Benefits
