Abstract:
In this article, the synergistic progress for both polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and HIV-1 is reviewed. The latest developments in standard PCR technology for the detection and quantitation of HIV-1 DNA molecules are summarized. In addition, examples of applications selected from the fields of HIV-1 diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and therapy monitoring are presented. Finally, the limitations of standard PCR procedures in HIV-1 research and clinical settings are discussed.
