## Abstract Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) represent an extrahepatic hepatitis C virus (HCV) reservoir, the significance of which is unclear due to limited studies and varying test methodologies. In this study, a commercial viral load assay for measuring cellβassociated PBMC HCV RNA was

β¦ Synopsis
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-1 -infected persons were mixed with 5 M guanidine thiocyanate, and HIV-1 -specific probes were hybridized with target RNA directly in the lysate. No RNA purification was needed. Hybrids were purified by repeated capture on superparamagnetic beads coated

## Abstract Detection of HIVβ1 RNA in semen is used commonly to determine the safety of semen processing procedures before assisted reproductive technology (ART). Using two panels of prepared semen samples containing HIVβ1 the performances of protocols from 14 centers have been compared. No falseβp
Determinations of plasma HIV viral RNA copy numbers help to define the kinetics of HIV-1 infection in vivo and to monitor antiretroviral therapy. However, questions remain regarding the identity of various infected cell types contributing to this free virus pool and to the in vivo lifecycle of HIV d
## Abstract The extent to which HIVβ1 proviral DNA mutations cause clinically relevant antiretroviral resistance is still controversial. Paired plasma HIVβ1 RNA and whole blood DNA were compared in patients failing HAART to investigate if the additional knowledge of archived mutations could improve
