What else can I help you with?
What color of tube is used for viral load?
A lavender-top tube is commonly used for viral load testing.
What describes the number of virus particles circulating in an infected person?
Viral load is the term used to describe the number of virus particles circulating in an infected person. It is an important measure of virus replication and infectivity. Tracking viral load levels can help in monitoring disease progression and response to treatment.
Can you receive anal from a hiv positive male and not get hiv?
Yes. Using a condom will protect you from catching HIV. If you do not use a condom, then the risk of catching HIV will depend on the HIV-positive partners viral load. The higher the viral load the higher the risk. Even with an undetectable viral load, HIV can still be transmitted.
In HIV patients what does a viral load of 60 mean?
It means he is quite healthy. However he need to keep repeating his CD4 once in 3 months and viral load once in an year. For more details, contact freedom.helpline@gmail.com
What range in milliliter is the viral load for hepatitis c?
50 to 100,000,000 IU/ml
The number of virus particles circulating in an infected person's body is called what?
Viral load
What part of the HIV virus serves to protect the nucleic acid core?
viral load
What test is ran using white top tube?
Hepatitis; HIV viral load
What does a viral load of 48 mean?
A viral load of 48 typically refers to the number of copies of a virus, such as HIV, detected in a milliliter of blood. In the context of HIV, a viral load of 48 copies/mL indicates that the virus is present and replicating, but is considered low. This low level may suggest that the individual is responding well to antiretroviral therapy, but continued monitoring and treatment adherence are essential for maintaining viral suppression. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider for personalized interpretation and guidance.
When the HIV viral load is at undetectable levels why is the CD4 count NOT going way up to much higher than 1000?
This is a good thing. If the viral load has dropped to undetectable levels, that means that very few viral cells are being produced. If your CD4 count is 1000 or better, that is a sign that the immune system is functioning well.
After starting antiretroviral therapy what is an acceptable target for viral load that indicates the therapy is effective?
40
Do antiviral drugs block viral replication?
Yes, antiviral drugs are designed to inhibit viral replication by targeting specific stages of the viral life cycle. They can interfere with viral entry into host cells, inhibit viral enzymes essential for replication, or prevent the assembly and release of new viral particles. By disrupting these processes, antiviral drugs help reduce the viral load in the body and alleviate the severity of the infection.
