It is alarming that such a large number of incorrect genotypes/subtypes are being mis-classified by current assays. Can you imagine going through treatment multiple times and failing and finding out that the assay was wrong? You would think that for such an important diagnostic test the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would require a higher rate of accuracy.
