Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is useful for diagnosis of HIV infection in the silent stage, for HIV transmission from mother to child and for existence of HIV in blood and blood products. We developed a simple, rapid and safe PCR method by using digoxigenin labelled probes. Furthermore, we developed a semi-quantitative dot blot method. These methods will be helpful for diagnosis.
