About HIV RNA Blood Test | Earlier HIV Testing in Chamblee
This assay is a direct viral detection test, which distinguishes it from the more common antibody screening tests.
Most standard HIV tests look for antibodies, the proteins the body makes to fight the virus. Those antibodies can take weeks to reach detectable levels, creating a window during which a person may be infected but still test negative.
The HIV RNA blood test instead measures the amount of viral RNA in the blood. RNA is the genetic material HIV uses to replicate, and it becomes detectable within a shorter period after exposure than antibodies do.
Because it can shorten the window period, RNA testing is sometimes used when early infection is suspected. A negative result does not rule out infection if the exposure was very recent; follow-up testing may be appropriate.
