Abstract

ABSTRACT Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) RNA quantification assays used in nine laboratories of the ACHI E V 2E (A Collaboration on HIV-2 Infection) study group were evaluated. In a blinded experimental design, laboratories quantified three series of aliquots of an HIV-2 subtype A strain, each at a different theoretical viral load. Quantification varied between laboratories, and international standardization of quantification assays is strongly needed.
