Evaluation of a highly sensitive qualitative human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA assay for detection of HIV-1 suppression.
By using a mathematical model, the APTIMA human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA qualitative assay was evaluated as a semiquantitative assay to distinguish HIV-1 patient samples needing quantitation from samples in which the virus was suppressed with antiretroviral therapy.
