Lessons from acute HIV infection
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Understanding the characteristics of transmission during acute HIV infection (AHI) may inform targets for vaccine-induced immune interdiction. Individuals treated in AHI with a small HIV reservoir size may be ideal candidates for therapeutic HIV vaccines aiming for HIV remission (i.e. viremic control after treatment interruption). RECENT FINDINGS The AHI period is brief and ...
متن کاملScreening for acute HIV infection: lessons learned.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) nucleic acid testing is increasingly being used by researchers and public health screening programs to identify highly infectious, HIV antibody-negative individuals with acute HIV infection. We present cases to illustrate unusual instances of acute HIV screening, which include "window period" testing and the discovery of low-level HIV RNA.

متن کاملAcute primary HIV infection.
Third-generation enzyme immunoassays start to de tect anti-HIV antibodies within 20–22 days after exposure; fourthgeneration enzyme immunoassays, which test for p24 antigen and anti-HIV antibodies, can yield positive re sults within 16–18 days. RNA nucleic acid amplification testing starts to de tect HIV infection within 7–14 days. At $75 per test, these RNA tests are too costly for routine use...
