How about using a reverse transcriptase? AMV or MuLV.

How? Using S1 will digest all the single stranded DNA/RNA...Where are the
primers sticking to? What is the primer you are using for the reverse
transcription step?

, using PCR.

There is a S1-nuclease digestion protocol found in Maniatis (the bible)

but this does not involve any PCR...You just run the result of the
digestion on an acrylamide gel..
