Correlation between logarithmic viral load values detected by the real-time assay and Amplicor ver 1.5 for 85 HIV-1 seropositive study subjects in various CDC classes, of whom 72 were therapy naïve and 13 were receiving antireteroviral therapy.

ART naïve HIV infected individuals (n = 72)	Mean LVL ± S.D. (Real-time)	Mean LVL ± S.D. (Amplicor assay)	Correlation coefficient (p value)
CDC class A (n = 32)	3.7 ± 1.14	3.95 ± 1.25	0.80 (0.0080)
CDC class B (n = 32)	4.2 ± 1.29	4.33 ± 1.39	0.74 (0.0000)
CDC class C (n = 8)	4.8 ± 0.97	4.60 ± 1.40	0.82 (0.0007)
HIV infected individuals on ART (n = 13)	3.1 ± 1.13	3.30 ± 1.50	0.93 (0.0000)
