The Human Immuno Virus 2 Detection PCR Test is a specialized diagnostic tool designed to detect the presence of HIV-2, a type of virus that can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Early detection of HIV-2 is crucial for effective treatment and management of the disease, significantly improving the quality of life for those affected.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method to amplify and detect the genetic material of the HIV-2 virus in the blood. It is highly sensitive and can identify the virus even in low quantities, making it an essential tool for early diagnosis.
