New Testing Strategy to Detect Early HIV-1 Infection for Use in Incidence Estimates and for Clinical and Prevention Purposes, Part 1
Article Abstract:
A sensitive/less sensitive testing strategy may effectively identify patients with early HIV infection. Early HIV infection describes the period soon after HIV antibodies become detectable in the blood. Researchers tested a large number of HIV patients, AIDS patients, and blood donors for immune markers of infection. The new testing strategy correctly identified 95% of patients with early HIV infection. Identification of these patients facilitates their enrollment in studies of the development and progression of HIV.
