The World Health Organization estimated that 38 million people worldwide were living with HIV at the end of 2019.1
Today, measurement of blood plasma HIV-1 RNA concentration (known as HIV viral load) using nucleic
acid- based molecular diagnostic assays has been established as the standard of care in assessing
HIV-positive patient prognosis and response to antiretroviral therapy. Assessment of viral load levels
is a strong predictor of the rate of disease progression and, by itself or in combination with CD4 T-cell counts, has great prognostic value.2-7
The need for a rapid HIV viral load test with flexibility to adapt to any throughput requirements and random access for urgent samples is greater than ever because each individual patient deserves better care.
The Impact
Increase Efficiency: Simplified workflow and on demand testing reduces hands-on time
Improve Patient Care: Rapid results enable earlier adjustments to appropriate therapy
Better for patients:Same day results and treatment decisions reduces anxiety and time for clinical appointments
