Inability to recognize incident infection has traditionally limited both scientific and public health approaches to HIV disease. Recently, some laboratories have begun adding HIV nucleic acid amplification testing to HIV diagnostic testing algorithms so that acute (antibody-negative) HIV infections can be routinely detected within the first 1-3 weeks of exposure. In this review article, we will highlight critical opportunities for HIV treatment and prevention that are presented by these diagnostic strategies.
传统上,无法识别新发感染限制了针对HIV疾病的科学和公共卫生方法。最近,一些实验室已开始在HIV诊断检测算法中增加HIV核酸扩增检测,以便在接触后的头1至3周内常规检测出急性(抗体阴性)HIV感染。在这篇综述文章中,我们将重点介绍这些诊断策略所带来的HIV治疗和预防的关键机遇。
