Description:
HIV RNA standard quantitation will be completed using the Roche COBAS/Amplicor HIV-1 Viral Load v2.0 assay, with a lower limit of quantitation of 20cps/mL. Single Copy Assay (SCA) HIV RNA quantitation in the setting of ART will be performed using 5-10 ml of CSF. In addition, cell associated HIV-DNA (total, integrated and 2LTR circles in total CD4+ T cells will be assessed at CRC-CHUM.
