Field validation and application of the luminex triplex HIV assay to estimate HIV prevalence and HIV-1 incidence in Nigeria
HIV cross-sectional surveys require multi-layered testing with several tests to estimate HIV prevalence and HIV-1 incidence. We evaluated the performance and accuracy of the newly developed HIV Triplex assay to diagnose HIV-1 and HIV-2 and detect HIV-1 recent infections using plasma samples from the 2018 Nigeria AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS). Plasma samples from consenting HIV-positive (n=2,773) and a subset of HIV-negative samples (n=…
Continuous quality evaluation of the Asanté rapid test for recent infection for robust kit lot quality verification
The Sedia Biosciences Asanté rapid test for recent infection (RTRI) can identify HIV infections and characterize HIV-1 as recent or long-term infection via the positive verification (V) line and long-term line (LT) line, respectively. Tracking with Recency Assays to Control the Epidemic (TRACE) program uses RTRI assays. Successful implementation of TRACE requires high-quality test performance. The goal of this study is to evaluate the additional …
Performance evaluation of the Asante Rapid Recency Assay for verification of HIV diagnosis and detection of recent HIV-1 infections
We previously described development of a rapid test for recent infection (RTRI) that can diagnose HIV infection and detect HIV-1 recent infections in a single device. This technology was transferred to a commercial partner as Asante Rapid Recency Assay (ARRA). We evaluated performance of the ARRA kits in the laboratory using a well-characterized panel of specimens. The plasma specimen panel (N = 1500) included HIV-1 (N = 570), HIV-2 (N = 10), and…
Performance of HIV rapid testing algorithm in Nigeria
Background The Nigeria AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS), a cross-sectional household survey, was conducted in 2018 with primary objectives to estimate HIV prevalence, HIV-1 incidence, and status of UNAIDS 90-90-90 cascade. We conducted retrospective analysis of the performance of HIV rapid tests and the national HIV testing algorithm used in Nigeria. Methods The national algorithm included Determine HIV-1/2 as test 1 (T1), Unigold HIV-1/2…
