IIDF:The study found that 371 individuals received inconclusive results under the 3-test algorithm, which would have likely led to misdiagnosis as HIV positive under the previous 2-test algorithm. How does this finding specif...

The 2014 HIV diagnostic testing algorithm recommended by the CDC is based on newer tests that are more sensitive for acute infection.2,3The algorithm is designed to (1) detect acute infections more often; (2) reduce the frequency of indeterminate results on supplement...

In the algorithm, the number of Geenius tests would have been reduced by 25% if HIV‐1‐RNA had been applied as a reflex test to HIV‐Ag/Ab positive samples and Geenius testing had been performed on RNA negative samples. A retrospective analysis showed that the HIV diagnostic...
HIV diagnostic testing for all infants with perinatal HIV exposure: Use PCR ( HIV RNA or HIV DNA nucleic acid tests): Not HIV antibody immunoassay False positives in antibody tests in children < 18 months of age (circulating maternal antibodies still present) Timing: 14–21 days 1–2 ...
HIV NAT may be “qualitative” (yes or no result) for diagnostic purposes. HIV NAT may also be “quantitative” (reports the number of virus particles per mL of blood). HIV NAT gives the number of virus particles per mL of blood. This is the test most commonly referred to as “HIV ...
