Isothermal Amplification Using a Chemical Heating Device for Point-of-Care Detection of HIV-1
BACKGROUND To date, the use of traditional nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for detection of HIV-1 DNA or RNA has been restricted to laboratory settings due to time, equipment, and technical expertise requirements. The availability of a rapid NAAT with applicability for resource-limited or point-of-care (POC) settings would fill a great need in HIV diagnostics, allowing for timely diagno...
متن کاملCost-Effectiveness of Pooled Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing for Acute HIV Infection after Third-Generation HIV Antibody Screening and Rapid Testing in the United States: A Comparison of Three Public Health Settings
BACKGROUND Detection of acute HIV infection (AHI) with pooled nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) following HIV testing is feasible. However, cost-effectiveness analyses to guide policy around AHI screening are lacking; particularly after more sensitive third-generation antibody screening and rapid testing. METHODS AND FINDINGS We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis of pooled NAAT s...
متن کاملDetection of Acute and Early HIV-1 Infections in an HIV Hyper-Endemic Area with Limited Resources
BACKGROUND Two thirds of the world's new HIV infections are in sub-Saharan Africa. Acute HIV infection (AHI) is the time of virus acquisition until the appearance of HIV antibodies. Early HIV infection, which includes AHI, is the interval between virus acquisition and establishment of viral load set-point. This study aimed to detect acute and early HIV infections in a hyper-endemic setting. M...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the rate of acute and recent HIV infections and the prevalence of primary antiretroviral resistance. DESIGN, SETTING, AND SUBJECTS A consecutive sample of individuals presenting for HIV testing at the San Francisco municipal sexually transmitted diseased (STD) clinic in 2004 (n = 3789). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES HIV antibody-positive specimens were screened by BED IgG capt...
متن کاملComment on: One window-period donation in two years of individual donor-nucleic acid test screening for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus
DOI: 10.5581/1516-8484.20130064 Since 1999 blood transfusion services around the world have been implementing nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) to screen for hepatitis C (HCV) RNA, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA and hepatitis B (HBV) DNA to improve the safety of the blood supply. Initially HCV RNA and HIV RNA NAAT screening was implemented and more recently HBV DNA NAAT screening ...
