I've been trying to understand the difference between the HIV RNA quantitative and qualitative tests. If I got a quantitative test done after six weeks, would it be a detection test, or is it more for measuring the amount of the virus if it's already detected? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarification.

If you're testing after 6 weeks of potential exposure and want to know the exact viral load or confirm HIV status, the quantitative test can still be useful, but a combination of tests (including antigenantibody tests) is often recommended for a more complete assessment. Always follow your healthcare providers advice on the timing and type of test.
