Anti-HIV-1 IgG is screened instead of the virus itself because antibodies typically persist longer in the body than the virus, making them more reliable indicators of infection. This approach allows for earlier detection, as antibodies can be present even when the viral load is low or undetectable. Additionally, testing for antibodies is often simpler, faster, and more cost-effective than directly measuring viral presence. Thus, antibody screening is a practical method for diagnosing HIV infection.
What else can I help you with?
Which is not a considered a method that a virus might use to inject itself into its target?
A virus would not append to inject itself into a target.
How does a virus divide its self?
A virus cannot divide by itself because it is not a living organism. Instead, it hijacks a host cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce new virus particles. The virus then assembles these new particles and releases them to infect other cells.
What is a living thing that provides energy for a virus?
A virus is a parasite that relies on a host cell for energy. It cannot produce its own energy and instead hijacks the metabolic processes of the host cell to replicate itself.
Can a virus inject itself into another process?
Yes, a virus can inject itself into another process and stay. If you're on an Administrator account a virus can do just about anything, including inject itself into processes. If a virus injects itself in an important file, it can effect the operating system in a very vital way.
Which is not considered a method that a virus might use to inject itself into its target?
A virus would not append to inject itself into a target.
Once a virus gets inside a cell does it change the instructions to the cell's nucleus?
No, a virus does not change the instructions in the cell's nucleus. Instead, it uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself. The virus hijacks the cell's normal processes to make new virus particles, which can then infect other cells.
What is a cookie virus?
A tracking cookie is not a virus. Sometimes the cookies can be from harmful sites, but the cookie itself does have a virus.
What creats a human virus?
A human virus creats itself. We are not sure where they come from or how they evolved.
Blood that is tested for HIV is tested for presence of antibodies to the virus not the virus itself?
true
Which virus characteristic enables a virus to change specific aspects of itself when it replicates?
Polymorphism
What is stealth computer virus?
A virus that runs in the backround and installs itself without a warning.
What is a resident virus?
It's a common virus that requires a malicious code to duplicate itself
