   Pooled viral RNA testing shortens the window period to a median of 17 days (95% CI, 13-28 Days). [9] Although it is not the standard of care to use this test for diagnosis, in communities with high HIV prevalence, this test has a significantly improved negative predictive value over 3rd and 4th generation tests for detecting acute HIV infections.
