Researchers found point-of-care viral load (POC VL) tests have high sensitivity and specificity for detection of viral loads of at least 1000 copies/mL. A recent review in Cochrane Database of ...
A single laboratory-based HIV viral load test used by U.S. clinicians who provide people with long-acting, injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) did not reliably detect ...
February 25, 2010 (San Francisco, California) — Decreases in community viral load — a mathematical measure of the amount of virus in a particular population — was associated with a decrease in the ...
A milliliter of blood contains about 15 individual drops. For a person with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), each drop of blood could contain anywhere from fewer than 20 copies of the virus to more ...
While using lab-based plasma sample methods provides the most sensitive viral load test results, such tests are not feasible in many parts of the world. However, the new findings support the greater ...
HIV-1 viral load monitoring is central to the effective management and treatment of HIV infection. Accurate quantification of viral RNA in plasma not only guides antiretroviral therapy but also offers ...
Over the last 15 years, many African nations have made major strides towards enabling millions of HIV-positive people to access HIV antiretroviral therapy. This has helped to treat individual patients ...
Systematic review of 8 studies in more than 7,700 serodiscordant couples in 25 countries finds people living with HIV with viral loads less than 1,000 copies/mL have almost zero risk of transmitting ...
An international research team led by the University of Cologne has discovered an antibody that could advance the fight against HIV. The newly identified antibody 04_A06 proved to be particularly ...
Faith, 23, is on the verge of despair after being unable to check her HIV viral load for the second time this year. “Since they drew blood to test the viral load in January, the next time I was to be ...
