Prompt confirmation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is critical. We examined 10 years of discordant results without reflex HIV RNA. Of patients with acute HIV infection, 43.9% (95% confidence interval, 36.2%-52.0%) had confirmation delays >30 days or were never confirmed, indicating a need for reflex RNA to facilitate diagnosis.
及时确认人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染至关重要。我们研究了10年中未进行HIV RNA复查的不一致检测结果。在急性HIV感染患者中,43.9%(95%置信区间,36.2%-52.0%)的确诊延迟超过30天或从未得到确诊,这表明需要进行HIV RNA复查以促进诊断。
