For instance, for a woman that is going to deliver, we need to know whether her
viral load is suppressed or not because it determines her chance of transmitting HIV to the infant," (https://za.linkedin.com/in/kuku-appiah-9b556b14) Dr.
Abbott's m-PIMA HIV-1/2 VL is a quantitative nucleic acid amplification test for
viral load measurement of HIV type 1 groups M/N and O, and HIV-2 in plasma samples.
Samples positive in qualitative detection of HCV by CLIA were further processed for
viral load estimation and genotype analysis.
All men made at least two HOPS clinic visits, including one in 2014 or later, and all men had their
viral load measured sometime between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015.
The median number of
viral load tests in 2014 was two, with 356,223 (54.7%) persons having two or more tests, 95,926 (14.7%) having one test, and 199,662 (30.6%) having no test in 2014.
A variety of methods are used for
viral load monitoring in a clinical sample.
Agreement between detectable and undetectable
viral load for plasma and DBS was seen in 83.0% of cases.
'The cobas HBV and cobas HCV tests set new industry standards for
viral load assays for the highly evolving hepatitis treatment regimens.'
Viral load for approximately 4 000 patients taking first-line theray was sampled between October 2009 and December 2011.
The real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based provides standardization of CMV
viral load monitoring with traceability to the WHO International CMV standard.
The average
viral load of all dead shrimp was 1.2 x 106 copies/ng DNA; that of dying shrimp was 6.7 x [10.sup.5] copies/ng DNA.
