Abstract

Viral loads in 249 clinical samples from individual patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 non-B subtypes were determined with both the Abbott RealTime and Cobas TaqMan assays. The differences exceeded 0.5 log for about 20% of samples and 1 log for 3%, with higher values always from the Abbott assay in the latter cases.
