Accurate detection and quantification of HIV-1 proviral DNA are critical for effective patient monitoring and therapeutic decision-making. In this study, we developed a multiplexed quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay designed to detect HIV-1 proviral DNA, determine viral subtype, specifically identifying the predominant subtype C and validate assay performance using an internal control. Gene-specific primers were engineered by appending an 8-base biotag followed by a common 18-base sequence at the 5' ...
