title: Potential influence of more-sensitive HIV-1 load detection by the new Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan version 2.0 assay on clinical management of HIV-positive pregnant women.
abstract: With the introduction of the new Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan version 2.0 assay, HIV-1 viral loads will be detected more frequently during the peripartum period in pregnant HIV-positive women. The implications for the clinical management of these patients are discussed in this paper.
