What does HIV-DNA PCR - Qualitative measure?
HIV-DNA PCR - Qualitative detects HIV genetic material (proviral DNA) in a blood sample. It tells whether the virus is present, not how much virus is there. This test is especially useful for diagnosing HIV in infants. A standard blood, urine, or tissue sample is collected depending on the test type. The sample is analysed in a certified laboratory using validated techniques. Each value is compared to a reference range derived from healthy populations, and any value outside this range is flagged for review.
What do the results of HIV-DNA PCR - Qualitative mean?
Results are reported as numerical values alongside the laboratory's reference range for your age and gender. A value within the range is considered normal. Values above or below the range are flagged and discussed by your doctor in the context of your symptoms and medical history. Not every abnormal result requires immediate treatment.
