iwadobo: This is how a HIV infection progresses. 1. The patient will have symptoms on the first few days as the virus gets in, starts to multiply and their body starts to resist. 2. At three months, going to six, the viral load hits very high on the charts and the first outward symptoms may appear for the person. The person with the virus is more infectious at this time than at any other time. It's also when the presence of the virus can be detected. That is why HIV tests are only accurate after 3 months. 3. After Six months the chart drops downward drastically and the viral load is maintained at a low level plateau until fifteen years later, or upon infection of an opportunistic decease. Which test looks for hiv in the body? Don't you know the prof that invented the PCR which is being used to detect the so called viral load is against its use for such ? According to him, the way the HIV scientists are employing that device to look for HIV is a direct contrast to how he designed the device to be used . He is not just a prof, he is a Nobel prize winner for that invention and he is a denialist . There are two major tests available in Africa. The first tests the presence of the antibodies. It is cheaper and more commonly use. It's also simple and it's done by pricking the index finger and taking a drop of blood which is put on a chemical strip that detects the antibody. The second test is done by blood testing and is more certain especially for persons who have not produced antibodies because their cells have not been permiated by the virus. It's more expensive and rarely used. I notice you are specific about AIDS and HIV. The first is used when the persons viral load becomes so high that their body is affected. So HIV is more of a condition that leaves the carrier vulnerable to decease. So, which of those two tests did you guy design?
