About Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that attacks the immune system, specifically CD4+ T-cells, leading to immune deficiency and susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Untreated infection progresses to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

HIV exists as two distinct types: HIV-1, the predominant global strain, and HIV-2, which is primarily prevalent in West Africa. Accurate detection and differentiation of both types is critical for appropriate treatment selection and clinical management.

The Genplex™ HIV 1&2 RT-PCR Kit enables simultaneous detection and differentiation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 RNA in a single assay, providing quantitative viral load results for monitoring treatment efficacy, evaluating disease progression, and guiding antiretroviral therapy (ART) decisions.

Key Specifications

  • Sensitivity ≥ 98% for both HIV-1 & HIV-2
  • Dual detection: HIV-1 & HIV-2 in single assay
  • Sample Types: Plasma & Serum
  • ThermaCyte X16 & X96 compatible
  • Internal Control in every reaction
  • 4-Point Standard Curve (QS1–QS4)

Key Highlights

Advanced molecular diagnostic capabilities engineered for clinical excellence and research-grade precision.

Dual Detection Capability

Simultaneously detects and differentiates HIV-1 and HIV-2 RNA in a single assay for accurate clinical management.

High Sensitivity & Specificity

Sensitivity ≥98% ensures reliable quantification even at very low RNA concentrations in patient specimens.

Wide Dynamic Range

Covers low to high HIV RNA concentrations, supporting early-stage diagnosis and high viral load monitoring.

4-Point Standard Curve

Four calibrated standards (QS1–QS4) with defined HIV RNA concentrations for reliable viral load quantification.

Broad Instrument Compatibility

Validated on ThermaCyte X16 & X96 (Probgen) and most open RT-PCR platforms.

Internal Control Included

Built-in IC monitors extraction efficiency and inhibition in every reaction, preventing false negatives.

Clinical Applications

Designed for diverse diagnostic and research use cases across the clinical spectrum.

HIV Diagnosis & Staging

Quantitative viral load measurement for HIV diagnosis, immune status assessment, and disease staging.

ART Monitoring

Monitor antiretroviral treatment (ART) response and detect virological failure early.

HIV-1 vs HIV-2 Differentiation

Differentiate between HIV-1 and HIV-2 to guide appropriate treatment regimens.

Blood Safety Screening

Screening blood donations for HIV RNA to minimize transfusion-transmitted infection risk.
