Abstract
Background. A new nucleic acid-based assay (simple amplification-based assay [SAMBA]) for rapid visual detection of human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) by dipstick is described. The assay was designed to be simple, stable, robust, self-contained, and capable of detecting a broad spectrum of HIV-1 subtypes and recombinant forms.Keywords
