1 Use of the GeneXpert tuberculosis system for HIV viral load testing in India

2 Figure Comparison of the Xpert viral load assay with the reference standard (A) Pearson correlation plot of GeneXpert and COBAS TaqMan viral loads. Pearson's r coefficient indicates the strength of the linear relationship between two variables, where values close to 1 indicate stronger linear relationships. (B) Bland-Altman scatter plot. Bias was defined as the COBAS TaqMan log10 copies/mL of viral load minus the Xpert log10 copies/mL of viral load. The solid red line indicates the mean bias and the dashed red lines show the limits of statistically acceptable bias defined as the mean bias +/- 1·96 SD of bias.
