Accurate diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is achievable with advanced screening and confirmatory tests. Monitoring disease progression and viral load is possible with current laboratory methods, with potential for future therapeutic applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical diagnostics
  • Virology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Established human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection diagnosis nears 100% accuracy in 2004.
  • HIV screening assays demonstrate exceptionally engineered performance.
  • Well-established confirmatory tests yield highly accurate diagnostic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic strategies for HIV infection.
  • To discuss the monitoring of HIV infection progression and viral pathogenesis.
  • To explore emerging laboratory testing mechanisms for HIV research and clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing highly sensitive HIV screening assays.
  • Employing well-established confirmatory laboratory tests with understood interpretation criteria.
