This is an HIV-1 RNA test designed for early detection.
Unlike the HIV DUO test, which looks for antigen and antibody responses, HIV RNA testing looks directly for the virus itself.
TDL lists HIV Rapid RNA HIV-1 Qualitative as an early detection test, with HIV-1 RNA testing and sample handling requirements specified by the laboratory.
TDL also refers to Rapid Xpert HIV-1 RNA Qualitative testing as an early detection option from 10 days.
This test may be useful where the main clinical question is:
“Is there evidence of HIV-1 RNA at this early stage?”
It is particularly relevant for patients seeking the earliest available HIV-specific molecular test following a potential exposure.




Wow! Dr. Dan was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to my health and well being. I’m so glad to have found him!
I have been going to Dr Wright for a number of years now. He is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, open minded and efficient, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough
I have been a patient of Doctor Dan for some time and continue to consult with him despite having left the UK. Dan has the enthusiasm and energy of a young man, whilst taking the holistic “physician” approach of an old school family doctor, equipped with the most modern insights and technology.
Dr Jain was great. Expert knowledge with practical advice
