A systematic review of limiting antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay for detection of recent HIV-1 infection to expand supported applications.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The need for detection of new and recent HIV infections is essential for surveillance and assessing interventions in controlling the epidemic. HIV recency assays are one way of providing reliable incidence estimates by determining recent versus non-recent infection. The objective of this study was to review the current body of knowledge of the limiting antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay to expand supported applications through an assessment of what is known and the gaps.

Methods

A search for peer-reviewed literature in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection was conducted using the search term "human immunodeficiency virus and avidity". Non-peer reviewed published reports from the Population-based HIV Impact Assessment Project were also included. Thes
