Describe the general types of diagnostic tests used to diagnose patients infected with HIV.
During the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen several discussions in the media about the need for more and better testing. The molecular methods we use for testing are either based on nucleic acid, antigens or toxins, or antibodies. Please briefly describe the difference between these three types of methods and explain what we can detect with them?

An NRTI inhibits HIV replication by acting as a ______, while an NNRTI acts as a ______. Nucleotide analog; reverse transcriptase antagonist Reverse transcriptase antagonist; nucleotide analog Reverse transcriptase antagonist; reverse transcriptase antagonist Nucleotide analog; nucleotide analog The HIV antigen and HIV antibody test are similar for all of the following reasons EXCEPT... Both rely on measurements of color intensity Both cannot be used immediately (~1 week) after HIV exposure Both detect proteins derived from the HIV genome Both require an enzyme-linked antibody
