SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA levels are not 'viral load' [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2021
Ct values are commonly used as proxy of SARS-CoV-2 “viral load”. Because of the (+)ssRNA nature of coronaviruses, current RT-qPCR target amplification does not distinguish replicative from transcriptional RNA. Although Ct values analyses through time, space and biological backgrounds remain informative, equating Ct with viral load may generate ...

Viral load detection and management on first line ART in rural Rwanda

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background To achieve the ambitious 90–90-90 UNAIDS targets, access to routine viral load (VL) is critical. To measure VL, Rwanda has relied on a national reference laboratory for years.

Cumulative exposure to viremia: Methods for the implementation of standardized variables in longitudinal HIV studies

MethodsX, 2023
Measures of viremic exposure over time, including HIV viral copy-years or durable viremic suppression, may be more relevant measures of viral load exposure for comorbid outcomes and mortality than single time point viral load measures. However, there are

MONITORING THE VIRAL LOAD IN HIV PATIENTS UNDER ANTI-RETROVIRAL THERAPY (ART) [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2016
Viral load monitoring is an important factor in managing HIV disease. Antiretroviral therapy is the recommended treatment for HIV patients, and the goal therapy is achieving viral suppression and reducing viral load below the level of detection.
