Abstract EN
Effective prevention of HIV/AIDS requires early diagnosis, initiation of therapy, and regular plasma viral load monitoring of the infected individual.
In addition, incidence estimation using accurate and sensitive assays is needed to facilitate HIV prevention efforts in the public health setting.
Therefore, more affordable and accessible point-of-care (POC) technologies capable of providing early diagnosis, HIV viral load measurements, and CD4 counts in settings where HIV is most prevalent are needed to enable appropriate intervention strategies and ultimately stop transmission of the virus within these populations to achieve the future goal of an AIDS-free generation.
This review discusses the available and emerging POC technologies for future application to these unmet public health needs.
