In facing global programs for treating HIVinfected patients in the developing countries, there is a real need for viral load assays that are accurate for the local subtypes. The present study was designed to evaluate viral load measurements using the newer version of the NASBA assay in subtype C-inf
## Abstract Assessment of HIV tropism using bioinformatic tools based on V3 sequences correlates poorly with results provided by phenotypic tropism assays, particularly for recognizing X4 viruses. This may represent an obstacle for the use of CCR5 antagonists. An algorithm combining several bioinfo
