Description

The HIV Viral Load test measures the amount of HIV RNA present in the blood. It provides an indication of how actively the virus is replicating and is a key tool in monitoring HIV infection and response to antiretroviral therapy.

A low or undetectable viral load suggests effective treatment and reduced risk of transmission, while a rising viral load may indicate treatment failure, resistance, or poor adherence. Regular viral load testing supports optimal long-term HIV management.

FAQs

No, there is currently no medication or treatment that can eliminate HPV from the body once it is present. However, most HPV infections are cleared by the immune system within 2 years. If HPV causes complications, then genital wart treatment and cervical cell changes can be treated.

HPV is typically spread through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity like vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It can also be passed on during prolonged intimate skin-to-skin contact that does not include penetrative sex. It may also be passed on from mother to baby during childbirth.

HPV infections often have no symptoms. If people do get symptoms, they can include:

  • lumps, legions, or warts around the infected area

  • itching or pain around the infected area

  • unusual bleeding or foul-smelling vaginal discharge

Most people who are infected do not realise they are, and often do not experience any issues. This is why it is important to get tested for HPV regularly.

For early detection and prevention. HPV doesn’t usually cause any symptoms, and some high-risk strains can also increase your chances of developing some types of cancer.
