Abstract

The use of PCR for virus detection and quantification offers the advantages of high sensitivity and reproducibility combined with an extremely broad dynamic range. HIV-1 RNA levels in plasma of a patient is a significant marker for the successful monitoring of immunocompromised patients, present study includes the quantification of HIV-1 RNA levels in patients infected with HIV. The study signifies about the co-relation of HIV-1 RNA levels with respect to patient’s viremia.

 

Keywords: Immunocompromised patients, Retroviral therapy, TaqMan RT PCR Probes, Threshold Value.
