Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-03016-1, published online 28 January 2022

The original version of this Article contained errors.

In the Results section, under the subheading ‘Assay specificity for HIV‑1’,

“They comprised of 27 male and 47 female participants.”

now reads:

“They comprised of 26 male and 46 female participants and 2 donors with unknown gender.”

In the Methods section, under the subheading ‘Assay specificity for HIV‑1’,

“As previously mentioned, the specificity of the assay on crude cellular lysates was determined using 74 HIV-1 negative IAVI protocol L donors (27 male and 47 female), 12 chronically infected protocol L donors (8 male and 4 female) and 32 treatment-suppressed male HIV-1 positive donors from the London St. Stephens Trust.”

now reads:
