HIV-1
HAV (target/5′ NCR), HCV (5′UTR), HEV (ORF2), HIV-1 (target/POL), HIV-2 (target/POL), HTLVI (target/POL), HTLVII (target/POL), and WNV (5′UTR) positive specimens were quantified using the Primer Design Genesig kit (Primerdesign Ltd, United Kingdom) according to the manufacturer’s protocol (OneStep RT-qPCR protocol).

The HIV type 1 Genesig Standard kit (Primer design, Southampton, UK) was used to calibrate the viral titers.

For HIV-2 RNA, the first commercial test used by our laboratory was HIV-2 Real-Time RT-PCR Kit, followed from 2014 by Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 2 genesig Standard Kit.

The in-house HIV-2 nested PCR assay was evaluated using the four known HIV-2 antibody positive specimens. These specimens were also processed at a private laboratory using a commercial real-time HIV-2 PCR assay (Genesig Standard kit) that targets the integrase (pol) gene region.
