Phenomenal change in DNA-PCR Antigen test |
Patients
those continued the treatment for 18-20
months after attaining the viral load to
less than detectable limit and adhering
to instruction strictly had recorded HIV
DNA-PCR Antigen Qualitative test ’Not
Detected’ and the test interpreted
‘the blood sample to be negative for
the presence of HIV virus”. And so
the medication were completely stopped for
almost one year and again undergone for
HIV DNA-PCR Antigen test (Qualitative) and
recorded ‘Not Detected’. The
same test was repeated for 2nd, 3rd &
4th year after completely stopping the medications
and the patients recorded ‘Not Detected’
for the test. |
The
method for the confirming the presence of
HIV antigen is HIV DNA-PCR Antigen test
(Qualitative) test by Nested PCR Technique.

A major breakthrough on HIV research through
Antigen Vs Antibody Test. |
| HIV
antibodies remain in the body for a long time
to come although HIV antigen is completely
evaded from the body. This |
Methods:
6ml serum sample is
to be drawn from the HIV patients who were
earlier confirmed HIV positive through Western
blot test and later undergone complete treatment
with Unani medicine HOO-IMM PLUS. The sample
is to be cautiously handled as per the NABL
guidelines and to be sent to a renowned
and reliable PCR Molecular diagnostic lab.
3 ml of the sample is to be allocated for
Western Blot Antibody test and the other
3 ml for HIV DNA-PCR Antigen test. |
Results:
Our study showed that
the above mentioned tests showed that the
blood sample is positive for Western blot
Antibody test & Negative for HIV DNA-PCR
Antigen test. This directly interprets that
at present the person is HIV negative though
he still carries HIV antibodies authenticating
his earlier infection with HIV virus. |
Conclusion:
It could be concluded
that our body immune system creates cell
mediated immunity responses towards HIV
antigen to produce antibodies that may persist
for a long time, even after the antigen
is completely eliminated from the body.
The other best example is Mycobacterium
Tuberculosis antibodies. |
The
human body can respond to antigen in many
different ways. These fall into two major
categories: |
