1 Clinical HIV-2 Viral Load Testing of a Large Population of HIV-2 Infected Individuals Linda M. Styer Wadsworth Center, NYSDOH ** The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose **

2 HIV-2 viral load uses real time HIV-2 RT-PCR assay with standards and a No RT control. LYSIS.2 or.9 ml plasma 2ul internal control. DUPLEX REAL TIME PCR HIV-2 LTR-Repeat 7 IU IU No RT Control <% DNA, IU 2. EXTRACTION Total nucleic acid Nuclisens EasyMAG Internal Control (Mouse Hepatitis Virus), IU,, IU. REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION Random Hexamer Styer 2 JCV 58(s): e27-e LOD: 7 IU/ml (.9 ml), 2 IU/ml (.2 ml) LLOQ: IU/ml (.9mL), 85 IU/ml (.2mL)

13 HIV-2 DNA in plasma Black male, 5- years On hemodialysis, kidney transplant in 25 Unusual HIV-2 Viral Load Cases HIV-2 Viral Load (Log IU/ml) 5 2 HIV-2 DNA repeatedly detected in No RT wells 25, IU/ml 75, IU/ml Sep- Jan- Jun- Oct-5 Mar-7 Jul-8 Dec-9 Collection Date VL7 VL9 VL High HIV-2 Viral Load ( 25, IU/ml). Black male, 5-9 years, poor response to treatment 2. Black female, -5 years, neurological symptoms, CSF VL = 72 IU/ml, excellent treatment response

14 Conclusions HIV-2 viral load testing is vital part of clinical care of HIV-2 infected patients Although HIV-2 viral loads are generally low, values above, IU/ml are not uncommon We have tested more than different HIV-2 infected patients
