Rapid testing demonstrated a negative predictive value (NPV) of 99.5% (95% CI: 98.8-99.8) and a positive predictive value of 77.9% (95% CI: 68.6-85.1). Notably, the rapid test failed to detect 3/3 (100%) acute HIV infections defined as rapid HIV antibody test negative, Ag/Ab assay...
HIV testing is the critical first step to direct people living with HIV (PLWH) to treatment. However, progress is still being made towards the UNAIDS bench
Over the years, HIV testing algorithms have improved. The current recommendations are designed to increase the chances of viral load suppression and also reduce the chances of false positives. The CDC guideline on HIV testing recommends initial screening with an antigen-antibody assay. All positive ...

used the TBLASTN algorithm to determine the corresponding regions in the genome for each peptide (171) which could then be visualized in the Ensembl Genome Browser. Annotation arising from this analysis was shared with the community using The Distributed Annotation System provided by Ensembl (171)....

This review of current HIV-1 viral load testing is focused on the potential value of a standardized genotype assignment for HIV-1 viral subtypes, regular monitoring of the performance of available commercial HIV viral load assays on emerging non-B HIV subtypes, circulating recombinant forms (CRFs...
[221]. In a study using DL algorithms trained on 216,152 retinal images, researchers investigated the algorithm’s ability to predict CAC scores and stratify cardiovascular disease risk. The results showed that the DL method, based on retinal images, could predict CAC as determined by CT scans...
However, despite these advantages, the performance of the current molecular diagnostic algorithm has not yet been evaluated in general samples with the presence of both MTB and NTM. In this study, our objective was to assess the efficiency of mycobacterial culture plus DNA sequencing to detect the...
