For monitoring viral load (VL) or Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) of HIV-1, real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is used to perform on plasma or Dried Blood Spot (DBS) sample. The qPCR method is expensive and requires sophisticated equipment. Therefore, there is a requirement for newer and cheaper technology for VL measurement or EID.
 Illustrations of different concepts of cognitive decline and trajectories.
According to the CDC 11% of adults have subjective cognative decline. Given the high coverage of ART in Australia, researchers assessed if there was a link between ART and cognative decline. With 1% of the study population reported to have sustained decline, the authors concluded that meaningful cognative decline was not significantly different compared with what would be expected. Although not a game changing new drug regimen, with the average life expectantcy of people with HIV now 83 year the lack of link between ART and cognative decline means that good health and wellbeing can be promoted into old age.
