The HIV-1-RNA Detection Test is a laboratory test that detects the presence of HIV-1 RNA in the blood. HIV-1 RNA is a genetic material produced by the virus that causes AIDS. The test is performed by taking a blood sample from a patient and analyzing it in a laboratory using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The test is used to diagnose HIV infection, monitor disease progression, and assess the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy.
