From my Experience. QPCR is more sensitive and better for lower concentrations. and of course with good standards will give copy number of the viral template. However, If I were you I would do nested Conventional PCR and then go to the QPCR. But can you please tell me if the 1ng is the total extract (nanodrop measurement) or specific viral load reading?
Yes you used Qubit Most likely. I think that your concentration is very low. but try to do QPCR for once. you can try viral culture to increase your template load.
