The more expensive nucleic acid tests, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, are used to detect virologic failure by monitoring the HIV load. PCR of dried blood spots is also the most effective technology for early diagnosis of HIV infection in infants (also known as “early infant diagnosis”), since assays based on antibody detection are unsuitable because maternal anti HIV antibodies can persist in infant blood for up to…
