Significant underquantitation of HIV RNA has been reported with the Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HIV Test (Version 1) compared to other assays. However, these studies have generally involved limited numbers of samples from select patient populations or analysis of samples that were undetectable in the TaqMan assay. Random plasma samples submitted from throughout the United States for HIV RNA quantitation (n = 1263) were compared in the Roche TaqMan and Abbott RealTime assays. Twenty-four samples (1.9%) were discrepant, with a maximum difference between the two assays of 1.9 log copies/mL These data indicate that both tests may be susceptible to underquantitation, but the incidence is low in this large cohort of samples from across the United States.
