Abstract:
AIDS is the clinical manifestation of cellular immunodeficiency caused by HIV infection. A characteristic feature of HIV-infection is the lifelong coexistence of HIV and antibodies against it in the blood. The routine diagnosis of HIV-positivity is based mainly on HIV-antibody screening by ELISA and confirmation by Western blotting. Improvements in diagnostic sensitivity are expected from the introduction of HIV-genome detection by polymerase chain reaction technique.
