MethodsSixteen HIV-1-infected patients negative to antiretroviral therapy were enrolled in AIDS clinics of the Guilin Third People's Hospital. Ethical approval was obtained from the local research ethics committee. The patients gave the midstream of their first morning urine samples. The urine samples were processed within 6 h, placed in a refrigerator, and maintained at− 20 C for 1 month (36 to 85 ml). Plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from these blood samples and used for viral load measurement and CD4+ T cell counts. Peripheral CD4+ cells were counted using flow cytometry (BD FACSAria III, San Jose, CA). HIV-1 RNA in urine and blood was concurrently detected with a RealTime HIV-1 assay (Abbott Laboratories SA, Guangzhou, China). The assay shown from Abbott Laboratories has a 5-log10 linear range and assay specificity of 100%. The lower detection limit of the assay is 50 copies/ml. The concentration of HIV-1 RNA in urine with higher than 50 copies/ml was considered as positive.ResultsFive patients were urine positive for HIV-1 RNA (Table 1). High concentration of HIV-1 RNA in fresh urine samples was found in three patients (871,000, 150,500, and 100,200 copies), whereas low concentration was detected in two patients (472.2 and 214.4 copies). Viral load was 224,477±164,223 (mean±SD) copies in fresh urine samples and 11,560±6,695 copies in paired blood samples (p=. 147). There was no statistically significant correlation of urine HIV-1 load with blood HIV-1 viral load or CD4+ cell count. Among the three patients who had high concentration of urine HIV-1 RNA, two died within 1 month of enrollment before initiation of antiretroviral treatment. In contrast, none of the 11 urine negative patients died within a period of 12-month clinical observation.
