Clinical significance

HIV - human immunodeficiency virus , human acquired immunodeficiency virus causes a chronic disease that causes progressive immune impairment. Infection occurs most often by blood, sexual contact or vertically from mother to child during pregnancy or lactation. The virus attacks the cells of the immune system CD4 T lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages. In the course of untreated infection, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) develops. In the diagnosis of HIV infection, it is recommended to test for the detection of p24 HIV antigen (approximately 14 days after infection) and anti-HIV 1/2 antibodies (4-12 weeks after infection). Qualitative HIV RNA testing is recommended to be performed in post-exposure individuals with suspected early stage of infection, before seroconversion, in individuals with possible póź seroconversion - such as. in patientsów with immunodeficiencies of a cause other than HIV infection, in patientsów with a double positive screening test result and a concomitant inconclusive or negative Western blot test result, newbornsów and infants of HIV-positive mothers.
