A rapid point-of-contact test for the diagnosis HIV infections and determination of recency of HIV-1 infections
Assays to Determine Recency of HIV InfectionWhat are they?They identify which individuals are newly infected,i.e.infected withinthe last N days(e.g.N=130 days for HIV-1 LAg-Avidity EIA,197 daysfor BED HIV-1 Incidence Assay)Why do we need them?Current application primarily for estimation ofHIV incidence rates.Need to know where new infections are,to identify the spread andpattern of infection of HIV epidemic.This is measured as ”disease incidence”.E.g.Incidence rate = numberof new infections per 1,000 people per year.Incidence is a measure of the risk of uninfected people becoming infected.
