Abstract
The reference tests for HIV diagnosis are the ELISA and Western-Blot assays. Their rapid development has made it possible to obtain a reliable, specific and highly sensitive diagnosis. The follow-up of HIV-infected subjects includes HIV-p24 antigenaemia, but viral culture and PCR will perhaps permit a quantification of viral load in order to evaluate the results of antiviral therapy.
