Blood-Borne Virus Testing

This Medical Laboratory Science lesson in Molecular Diagnostics supports laboratory science learning and laboratory interpretation for medical laboratory students and professionals.

Explain molecular testing roles for selected blood-borne viruses, for example human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV), at a laboratory-application level.

Each objective is a clinical-laboratory application skill, not disease biology or treatment advice.

  • Describe representative molecular uses for selected blood-borne viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV)
  • Distinguish qualitative detection contexts from quantitative monitoring contexts at an application level
  • State major limitations and when serology or other laboratory correlation is needed
