Abstract
To evaluate HIV-2 RNA quantification assays used in nine laboratories of the ACHIEV2E group. In a blinded experimental design, laboratories quantified three series of aliquots of HIV-2 subtype A strain, each at a different theoretical viral load. Quantification varied between laboratories and international standardization of quantification assays is strongly needed.
