Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV, species HIV-1 and HIV-2) is the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a chronic condition that weakens the immune system and increases vulnerability to opportunistic infections and cancers. Early and accurate detection of HIV is essential for diagnosis, treatment initiation, monitoring of viral load, and prevention of transmission.
HIV PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting and quantifying HIV RNA in human samples. These molecular testing tools ensure accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in research use only (RUO) format, these PCR assays support a range of applications including early infection detection, antiretroviral therapy monitoring, and HIV research from clinical samples.
