Abstract

The last generation dual-target platforms for quantification of HIV-1 RNA return a single value of viral load (VL) derived from a combined reading of two HIV-1 genome targets. By using a modified version of Aptima software, providing both the VL results obtained from pol and LTR amplification separately, we observed discordant VL results in some samples from HIV-1-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy.
