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.

What are the most reliable hiv detection (diagnosis) tests with the shortest window periods? Can you please enlist tests that measure viral load, antibodies, etc. Separately. Thank you. I have one more query. Dr. Lal pathlabs has hiv 1 rna quantitative test (not qualitative) which they say is meant to see how antiretroviral therapy is working. Can it also be used for diagnostic purposes?

Fourth-generation test which detects the antigen and antibody is the test with the shortest window period of 18 days (can be up to 1.5 months). The lal path test you mentioned can be used for diagnostic purpose.

My mother is suffering from small hiatal hernia diagnosed in july 2016. She took nexito plus /nexito 5 mg/10 mg and sompraz40/esofad d for almost an year and did not experience any acid reflux on daily basis. When I saw the side effects of these pills especially nexito, I got worried and immediately told her not to take this one. NOW SHE FACES ACID REFLUX DAILY AND SOMETIMES MOUTH BURNING. She remains depressed all the time due to this. Moreover, she has now blurred vision .Recently all the tests were done-- Retina test (centre for sight)= normalCarotid Doppler study = normalEcho test = normalliver profile = normalkidney profile= normallipid profile = VLDL-14. 2Esr=75C reactive protein (qualitative)= negativevitamin B12=271Anti nuclear Antibody IFA=negativeRheumatoid factor (qualitative)=12. 23Blood sugar fasting= normal blood sugar PP =161I am not able to find any solution for her .she suffers daily from this acid reflux and doctors just give the medicines that makes her fall asleep throughout the day. What to do ?what treatment to follow? Homeopathy or allopathy or ayurveda?
