Abstract
Plasma human immunodeficiency virus RNA in 491 clinical specimens was measured by LCx. There was a strong correlation with the results provided by other methods (r2 values of 0.93 with Cobas-Monitor version 1.5 and of 0.95 with Quantiplex version 3.0). However, values were uniformly higher with LCx than with Quantiplex when non-B subtypes were tested.Keywords
