Development of a New Limiting-Antigen Avidity Dot Immuno-Gold Filtration Assay for HIV-1 Incidence
Several laboratory assays on cross-sectional specimens for detecting recent HIV infections were developed, but these assays could not be applied in resource-limited and high HIV-incidence areas. This study describes the development of a rapid assay that can simultaneously detect the presence of HIV-1 antibodies of current and/or recent infection. The dot immuno-gold filtration assay (DIGFA) was...
متن کاملPrevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection among Injection Drug Users Released from Jail
Background: Injecting drug users (IDUs) and prisoners are considered to be highly vulnerable to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Iran. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of HIV infection among IDUs released from jail in Bahar (Hamadan, Iran). Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 118 IDUs who were prisoners during 2001-07 were evaluated. Their demographic and p...
متن کاملDetection of Recent HIV-1 Infection Using a New Limiting-Antigen Avidity Assay: Potential for HIV-1 Incidence Estimates and Avidity Maturation Studies
BACKGROUND Accurate and reliable laboratory methods are needed for estimation of HIV-1 incidence to identify the high-risk populations and target and monitor prevention efforts. We previously described a single-well limiting-antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay (LAg-Avidity EIA) to detect recent HIV-1 infection. METHODS We describe here further optimization and characterization of LAg-Avidity E...

متن کاملطراحی و راه اندازی روش TaqMan Real-time PCR جهت تشخیص و تعیین کمی ویروس نقص ایمنی اکتسابی نوع1 (HIV-1)
Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) is one of the most important blood-borne infectious viruses that are considered a global problem, thus it is important to diagnose it with high accuracy and sensitivity. Serologic methods do not adequately detect this infection. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to design a sensitive method based on TaqMan Real-time PCR me...
