Among infants exposed to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), detection of viral infection at birth was increased by 39% (95% confidence interval, 19%-47%) by increasing DNA input from dried blood spots into polymerase chain reaction. Infants with low concentrations of HIV-1 at birth may be the best target population to evaluate whether immediate antiretroviral therapy can prevent long-term infection.
在暴露于1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)的婴儿中,通过增加干血斑中用于聚合酶链反应的DNA输入量,出生时病毒感染的检测率提高了39%(95%置信区间,19%-47%)。出生时HIV-1浓度较低的婴儿可能是评估立即进行抗逆转录病毒治疗是否能预防长期感染的最佳目标人群。
