Predictive Values for Long-Term Viral Suppression or Rebound From 84-Week HIV Serology and Qualitative DNA Results
| <40 copies/mL 24–84 weeks (sustained) | ≥40 copies/mL 24–84 weeks (at least once) | Predictive value for HIV RNA viral suppression from 24–84 weeks | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Negative HIV serology | 14 | 7 | 67% predictive of sustained suppression |
| Positive HIV serology | 0 | 14 | 100% predictive of at least one rebound |
| Indeterminate HIV serology | 2 | 1 | -- |
| Negative qualitative DNA | 11 | 4 | 73% predictive of sustained suppression |
| Positive qualitative DNA | 5 | 17 | 77% predictive of at least one rebound |
| Indeterminate qualitative DNA | 0 | 1 | -- |
