Ultra-sensitive laboratory assays based on the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are playing an increasingly important role in HIV cure-related research. This article reviews the different assays available and how they have evolved. There is a great need for their standardization and for the establishment of reference reagents and testing algorithms to evaluate potential HIV cure-related treatments.
基于聚合酶链反应（PCR）的超灵敏实验室检测方法在与HIV治愈相关的研究中发挥着越来越重要的作用。本文综述了现有的不同检测方法及其发展历程。迫切需要对这些方法进行标准化，并建立参考试剂和检测算法，以评估潜在的与HIV治愈相关的治疗方法。
