  • Real-world performance of point-of-care vs. standard-of-care HIV viral load testing in western Kenya

    Open AccessJessica H Giang, Garoma Basha et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Routine HIV viral load testing is important for evaluating HIV treatment outcomes, but conventional viral load testing has many barriers including expensive laboratory equipment and lengthy results return times to patients. A point-of-care viral load testing technology, such as GeneXpert HIV-1 quantification assay, could reduce these barriers by decreasing cost and turnaround time, however real-world performance is limited. We conducted a seconda…

  • Using queueing models as a decision support tool in allocating point-of-care HIV viral load testing machines in Kisumu County, Kenya

    Open AccessYinsheng Wang, Anjuli D Wagner et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2024

    Point-of-care (POC) technologies—including HIV viral load (VL) monitoring—are expanding globally, including in resource-limited settings. Modelling could allow decision-makers to consider the optimal strategy(ies) to maximize coverage and access, minimize turnaround time (TAT) and minimize cost with limited machines. Informed by formative qualitative focus group discussions with stakeholders focused on model inputs, outputs and format, we created…
