Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are several methods for the diagnosis of HIV infection such as viral culture ELISA, PCR test, Western Blot test, etc.
ELISA( Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and Western Blot test are widely used.
Treatment of AIDS with anti-retroviral drugs is only partially effective. They can only prolong the life of the patient but cannot prevent death, which is inevitable.
