About HIV RNA Blood Test | Earlier HIV Testing in Clifton
This test measures HIV RNA in the blood and is used when earlier detection matters.
Standard HIV tests look for antibodies that the body makes to fight the virus. Those antibodies can take weeks to reach detectable levels, which leaves a window during which an infected person may test negative. The HIV RNA test bypasses that window by measuring the virus's genetic material instead.
RNA is the genetic material HIV uses to carry its instructions. The test amplifies and counts HIV RNA molecules in a blood sample, producing a viral load measurement. A detectable result indicates the presence of the virus; an undetectable result means the virus was not found at the test's limit of detection.
Because it detects the virus directly, the HIV RNA test can return a positive result earlier in the course of infection than antibody tests. It is also used to monitor viral load in people already diagnosed with HIV, helping clinicians track how well treatment is controlling the virus.
