The assay utilizes a dual target approach against highly conserved regions in the HIV genome that is designed to deliver reliable, consistent qualitative and quantitative results across HIV-1 groups and subtypes. The Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx assay is also CE IVD-marked for both diagnostic and viral load monitoring claims.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis is an exciting new claim for our highly sensitive and reliable HIV test because it has the potential to improve patient care,\u201d said Kevin Thornal, president of Diagnostic Solutions at Hologic. \u201cA simultaneous viral load measurement with diagnosis will allow healthcare providers to guide treatment choices for patients to begin therapy immediately. The dual claim will also benefit our clinical laboratory customers, who continuously seek to consolidate their testing as much as possible onto one automated platform.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nStarting treatment at the time of diagnosis is expected to reduce the risk of HIV transmission to others and to maximize prospects for long-term good health.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThere are approximately 1.2 million people living in the US with HIV, with 38,000 new infections in 2018.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information about Hologic\u2019s U.S. virology portfolio, please visit: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fusaptimavirology.com&amp;esheet=52332946&amp;newsitemid=20201120005242&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=http%3A%2F%2Fusaptimavirology.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=872941618a34aa48cd11f9d9583e7a03\">http:\/\/usaptimavirology.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bwuline\">About the Panther and Panther Fusion Systems<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Panther molecular diagnostics system is a best-in-class, fully automated, sample-to-result platform that can be used in low-, medium- or high-throughput laboratories.
