Is there any difference in hiv dna qualitative test and hiv provera dna test or both test are same? Kindly reply as soon as possible.

The hiv dna pcr test & the test is very reliable for detecting hiv in someone recently exposed to the virus and will be highly accurate within 48 to 72 hours. An ultra-sensitive version of the rt-pcr test can detect as few as 50 copies/ml. The branched dna (bdna) assay also detects the amount of virus and has results comparable to rt-pcr. Pcr viral load is the most sensitive test for detecting hiv infection in seroconversion, though greater sensitivity may be achieved when used in conjunction with the proviral dna test. A qualitative pcr test, known as the pcr-dna test, looks for the presence of the virus, but does not measure the amount found.
