The Need

an ill woman listens to a physician
  • Acute HIV infections are characterized by the lack of anti-HIV antibodies and the presence of high levels of virus in the blood and a risk of transmission.1
  • Maternal HIV antibodies can persist in a child up to 18 months preventing the use of serological testing for diagnosis. HIV infection in infants can be definitively confirmed only with HIV NAT2 (e.g. PCR) testing.
  • A highly sensitive HIV qualitative PCR test is needed for early diagnosis of HIV infections in high-risk populations and infants.
