: We evaluated detection of HIV-1 RNA from dried blood spots (DBS) and oral fluid specimens. Between February 2010 and August 2014, HIV-1 was newly diagnosed in eight (2.6%) study participants who had median blood HIV-1 RNA of 61 500 copies/ml (interquartile range 7500-146 000). RNA was detected in seven (87.5%) DBS and three (37.5%) oral fluid swabs but was not detected in either specimen from one participant. DBS may be a reasonable specimen collection method to detect acute infection.
我们评估了干血斑(DBS)和口腔液标本中HIV-1 RNA的检测情况。在2010年2月至2014年8月期间,8名(2.6%)研究参与者被新诊断出感染HIV-1,其血液中HIV-1 RNA的中位数为61500拷贝/毫升(四分位间距为7500 - 146000)。在7份(87.5%)干血斑和3份(37.5%)口腔液拭子中检测到了RNA,但有一名参与者的两份标本中均未检测到。干血斑可能是检测急性感染的一种合理的标本采集方法。
