Abstract: We compared Roche MONITOR and Organon Teknika NucliSens assays for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Results of 282 assays were highly correlated (r = 0.826), with MONITOR values being 0.29 ± 0.4 log10 copies/ml (mean ± standard deviation) values. Both assays can reliably quantify HIV-1 RNA in CSF.
