RESUMO

LCx was compared to other assays in measuring human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) CRF02 viremia. LCx showed significant but low correlation with the other methods. Values of <2.60 log10 cp/ml were observed in 29.6% of specimens with LCx and in only 14.8% with bDNA and PCR, suggesting suboptimal performance of LCx with CRF02.
