ABSTRACT
In this study, virion-associated RNA was measured in plasma from twenty six patients in various stages of HIV-1 disease by the additive RT-PCR method. Plasma viral RNA levels were inversely correlated (r = -0.72894) with total CD4+ cell counts and directly (r = 0.86964) with serum titre beta 2-microglobulin in chronically infected patients. This additive RT-PCR is based on a mathematical logistic adjustment of the standard curve and the use of an internal standard identical to the target molecule, which represents a control system for the efficiency of RT-PCR and allows a continuous assessment of the accuracy based on the recovery.
