Abstract
Background Our outdoor patient clinic in Salzburg (Austria) comprises 170 HIV-infected patients. Since 2004 our laboratory has been using Cobas TaqMan 48 real time PCR analyser (Roche) for detection and quantification of HIV1 RNA. To date we could identify four patients who remained undetectable (3/4) or who presented with very low viremia (<200 copies per ml) while receiving no antiretroviral therapy at all.
