Limitations
This test should be used specifically for patients with confirmed HIV-1 infections and is suited for those who have either undetectable viral loads or low-level viremia. It is not designed for the initial diagnosis of HIV-1 infection. Additionally, incorrect handling of the specimen, such as lack of freezing, can lead to specimen rejection.
