Doctors use the hcv rna pcr in one of two ways: a qualitative test determines whether or not the virus is present. A quantitative test measures the amount of hcv in the bloodstream. The hcv rna pcr test is used to determine whether the hepatitis c virus (hcv) exists in your bloodstream. If the virus is present, the test can also measure the exact amount that's in your blood. The amount of virus in your blood is known as the viral load. As per cdc guidelines, the window period of hiv infection is 18-45 days for the test performed on serum/plasma. The window period of hiv tri dot is 30-60 days & the window period of hcv is 8 to 11 weeks. Hiv tri dot & hcv tri dot are 99% accurate within the defined window period.
