Methodology

The Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx assay is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the
detection and quantitation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA groups M,
N, and O on the fully automated Panther™ system. It is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of HIV-1 infection, as a confirmation of HIV-1 infection, and as an aid in clinical<br> management of patients infected with HIV-1.
