Detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 genomic RNA in plasma samples by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction
J Med Virol.

Abstract
An application of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to the direct detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viremia is described. The amplification of specific HIV-1 sequences of gag and env viral genes was carried out after the reverse-transcription of plasma samples (plasma RT-PCR) from seropositive subjects. The assay is faster and cheaper than detection of specific HIV-1 transcripts from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by RT-PCR. The data suggest that HIV-1 viremia is detectable by plasma RT-PCR in a large proportion of seropositive individuals.
