Evaluation of the cobas plasma separation card to identify HIV-infected patients in virological failure in real-life conditions in Vietnam
This field evaluation of the cobas® PSC showed its high effectiveness in identifying patients in virological failure. The specificity was 87.8%, lower than in previous reports. However, in cases of discrepancy, the PSC viral load level was never far from the 1,000 copies/mL threshold, which may be due to measurement error inherent to the technique.
