The HIV RNA PCR is an antigen test used for checking the presence of the genetic material (RNA) of the HIV virus in our body, instead of looking for its antibodies.

The test mainly is used to check for the HIV virus in case a person has had an exposure to the infection recently (usually 10 to 33 days after the exposure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2 can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV-1 is the most common type found throughout the globe. It was also the first to be discovered. It spreads more rapidly than HIV-2.
HIV-2 is less harmful as compared to HIV-1 as its load is low. It is mainly found in West Africa, France, Portugal, India, etc.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED

Interpreting the HIV RNA PCR test results

Normal Range: No HIV RNA copies detected.

The HIV RNA PCR test can detect almost 20 copies/mL to 10,000,000 copies/mL of the HIV genetic material in your blood sample.

If your HIV RNA PCR shows 20 copies/mL, it means the presence of HIV-1 RNA in your serum. Since this test is highly sensitive, it can show rising or detectable HIV-1 viral loads in people who earlier had these in low or undetectable quantities.

If the HIV-1 RNA level is greater than 10,000,000 copies/mL, the test would not be able to successfully measure it, since this would exceed its highest evaluation limit.
