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 ...

Next-day HIV viral load testing results do not significantly improve linkage to treatment or prevention care for adults at risk for acquisition or people with HIV not receiving daily antiretroviral ...

There are around fifteen drops in a milliliter of blood. The viral load of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individual could be anywhere from only a few copies to as many as 500,000 ...

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 ...

Without ART, people living with HIV can have a viral load of 30,000 to more than 500,000 copies/mL, depending on the stage of infection. While using lab-based plasma sample methods provides the most ...

Colorized transmission electron micrograph of multiple HIV-1 virus particles (green) budding from a cell projection from an H9 cell (burgundy). Image captured at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility ...

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 ...

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 ...

During ARS, the viral load is very high—often >100,000 copies/mL. The standard test to detect ARS is the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). False-positive HIV viral loads do ...

A federally funded clinical trial suggests knowing HIV viral load (number of HIV particles in the body) doesn’t improve the number of patients seeking treatment for active HIV infection or preventive ...
