Number of HIV isolates in each subtype category.

Mean log₁₀ differences of RNA values for each HIV-1 subtype by HIV-1 RNA quantitation tests compared to the values found by the Roche Amplicor Monitor version 1.5 test. The HIV-1 RNA quantitation tests used were the Roche Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor test (version 1.0), Bayer Quantiplex HIV RNA (version 3.0), Digene Hybrid Capture II HIV RNA test (version 1.0), Organon Teknika NucliSens HIV QT test (version 2.0), and Gen-Probe HIV-1 Viral Load Assay (in development).
