In this field, flow cytometry is the methodology of choice, permitting the evaluation of several cell populations, as well as their proliferating capacity and cytokine secretion patterns Landay et al. Evaluation of seroreactivity to HIV antigens adsorbed to beads immunoreactive bead assay , as well as the qualitative and quantitative analysis of HIV infected cells by means of the detection of p24 antigen in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, using specific monoclonal antibodies, are examples of these possibilities.

Although such documents can be easily adapted to address the needs of these countries, the bigger issue of having protocols and procedures that ensure existing and new instruments and technologies can be successfully validated must be urgently addressed. At this time, the lack of any internationally accepted reference preparation means that any validation process has to be undertaken at multiple international sites and thus might need to incorporate a tiered approach. For example, validation would begin at reference laboratories and then at lower-level laboratories where the test will be used.
Validation protocols will need to address issues such as temperature stability, specimen stability for testing, transportation issues and their performance in EQA programmes. The latter is of particular importance because as most EQA programmes now use stabilized peripheral blood for performance monitoring it is important that new and existing instruments are capable of being effectively quality-assessed using such material 70 , 76 , 80 , EQA validation protocols will need to be developed for the current technologies that are not compatible with stabilized whole-blood products.
The initiative attempts to co-ordinate the collaboration of academia, industry and other institutions to develop such a test over a four-year period. However, it should also be considered that with the introduction of any new technique, whether based on flow cytometry or simplified counting approaches, there should be appropriate guidance and quality monitoring systems in place.

The need for low-cost CD4 monitoring The HIV pandemic affects most of the world, but it has a significantly greater adverse effect in sub-Saharan Africa where healthcare resources are limited and many individuals cannot afford treatment. The future of CD4 testing ARVs are now becoming increasingly available in many countries and their use must be monitored effectively to determine the point at which to initiate therapy and also to identify those patients at risk of treatment failure because of drug resistance.
