Tests
An HIV viral load test measures the amount of HIV in a sample of your blood. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. The test looks for genetic material from the virus in your blood. These tests are called molecular tests or nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT or NAT). There are several types of NAAT tests. A PCR test is one type of NAAT that may be used to find HIV.

Glossary Term
A purification method in which nucleic acids bind to paramagnetic beads and are collected with a magnet through wash steps. It automates well, which is why most high-throughput extraction platforms are bead-based; compare deck footprint and sample capacity when shortlisting systems.
Extraction Methodology
Glossary Term
A sequence of single-stranded RNA, that is 20-25 nucleotides in length, which is transcribed from DNA but is not translated into a protein. This nucleic acid may regulate the transcription or translation of other genes.
