OBJECTIVE: The study aims to evaluate the HIV-1/2 rapid diagnostic test kit is routinely used to screen HIV infection for safe blood transfusion and VCT services in many parts of Ethiopia. METHODS: A total of 324 sera were collected from consecutive blood donors from February to May 2006. All samples were screened for HIV infection using Determine HIV-1/2 (Abbott Japan) at hospital blood bank laboratory. Blindly, all serums were retested at Regional Health Research Laboratory using 4th generation ELISA (Vironostika HIV Uni-Form II AG/Ab) and Determine HIV-1/2 (Abbott lab). Discordant samples were repeatedly retested using the same ELISA and Determine HIV-1/2 to avoid technical errors. Finally, discordant results were resolved using Western Blot at the National HIV/AIDS Laboratory. RESULTS: Determine HIV-1/2 and ELISA showed 94.4% concordance in HIV antibody testing with fair Cohen's Kappa statistic value (0.68) among blood donors. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of Determine HIV-1/2 were 60.5%, 98.9%, 88.5% and 94.9% respectively. CONCLUSION: As a rapid HIV screening test for blood donors, Determine HIV-1/2 showed poor sensitivity. Further evaluation at multiple centres is recommended to test its validity as a routine HIV screening test in blood donors. Use of a combination of rapid assays is also recommended for screening of HIV infection among the donor population.  相似文献

Five simple and rapid HIV antibody detection assays viz. Determine, Capillus, Oraquick, Unigold and Hemastrip were evaluated to examine their performance and to develop an alternative rapid test based testing algorithm for voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) in Ethiopia. All the kits were tested on whole blood, plasma and serum. The evaluation had three phases: Primary lab review, piloting at point of service and implementation. This report includes the results of the first two phases. A total of 2,693 specimens (both whole blood and plasma) were included in the evaluation. Results were compared to double Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) system. Discordant EIA results were resolved using Western Blot. The assays had very good sensitivities and specificities, 99-100%, at the two different phases of the evaluation. A 98-100% result agreement was obtained from those tested at VCT centers and National Referral Laboratory for AIDS (NRLA), in the quality control phase of the evaluation. A testing strategy yielding 100% [95% CI; 98.9-100.0] sensitivity was achieved by the sequential use of the three rapid test kits. Direct cost comparison showed serial testing algorithm reduces the cost of testing by over 30% compared to parallel testing in the current situation. Determine, Capillus/Oraquick (presence/absence of frefrigeration) and Unigold were recommended as screening, confirmation and tiebreaker tests, respectively.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation and monitoring of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) testing reagents at the point of service is helpful to prevent the occurrence of problems related to testing and interpretation. To evaluate the implementation of HIV rapid test kits at the point of services in voluntarily counseling and testing (VCT) and diagnostic centers in Ethiopia. METHODS: The assessment was the third phase of evaluation of HIV rapid test kits in Ethiopia followed from phase-I and phase-II. Known proficiency testing panels, well-structured questionnaire (addressing type of tests, human resource and problems related to tests), onsite supervision and retesting of samples collected from sites were used to evaluate the performances of reagents and laboratories. RESULTS: Forty-four health institutions were included. Thirty-six (90.0%) health institutions had trained human resource on HIV testing. In 27 (61.4%) three types of HIV rapid test kits (Determine, Capillus and Unigold) were available. Serial-algorithm was used in all the laboratories. In 31 (70.4%) of them external quality control specimens were not used. Twenty two (50.0%) of the laboratories reported frequent shortage of reagents. All (100%) were able to identify negative specimens distributed. Positive proficiency panel samples were identified in 37 (94.8%) of the 39 laboratories. There was 98.3% agreement at a screening level between the sites and the central laboratory. Rate of discrepancy between screening and confirmatory assays was found to be 3.0% and 2.1% at the sites and at central laboratory, respectively. CONCLUSION: The test kits showed a good performance at the point of services in the field sites. However, continuous assessment of HIV test kits at the point of service and training of professionals on newly arrived techniques are recommended to have effective testing performance with acceptable sensitive and specific testing algorithm. Effective quality assurance program should be in place to support programs such as VCT, prevention of mother-to-child-transmission and antiretroviral therapy.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) specific antibodies continues to be the most important measure in diagnosis and HIV intervention. Detection of anti-HIV antibodies in serum or plasma samples are common strategies. However, body fluids such as urine and saliva could serve as an alternative sample for diagnosis of HIV infection. OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of Calypte HIV-1 urine EIA test kits for detection of HIV antibodies in urine sample. METHODS: Urine and serum samples were collected from a total of 365 subjects (HIV suspected (n=156), VCT clients (n=129) and 80 known HIV positive individuals at Jimma Hospital VCT center, OSSA, Red Cross and Mekaneyessus Jimma cohort sites in unlinked anonymous testing method. Urine sample were tested using Calypte HIV-1 urine EIA kits parallel to the golden standard method of testing serum samples by combination of Determine and Vironostica (Rapid test followed by ELISA) test algorithm. All discordant samples (by urine serum tests) were resolved using urine western blot (Calypte HIV-1 urine Western Blot). RESULT: Comparing the results obtained with a golden standard (HIV test algorithm) the sensitivity and specificity of urine EIA test kit were 99.5% (187/188) and 98.3% (174/177) respectively. Beside to this kappa's test of agreement showed perfect agreement with kappa 0.98. CONCLUSION: The result showed the utility of urine test as an alternative method for HIV antibody detection. Since the method of collection of urine specimen is non-invasive, it reduces occupational exposure for health professionals involved in collecting samples. Furthermore patient's stronger acceptance to give urine samples will make this test more applicable than serum or whole blood test.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To validate a Gelatin Particle Agglutination (GPA) test for HIV using dried blood spots with a view to applying the test in large epidemiological studies. DESIGN: A method comparison study with standard enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the Recombigen HIV-1/2 kit as the gold standard. SETTING: Blair Research Laboratory, Harare, Zimbabwe. SUBJECTS: Sera and dried blood spots samples were available from 379 women from Mbare, Harare and Mupfure, Shamva District, Zimbabwe who had participated in HIV studies conducted by Blair Research Laboratory. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Results of the GPA and Recombigen HIV-1/2 ELISA using serum and dried blood spots. RESULTS: With the Recombigen HIV-1/2 ELISA as the gold standard, sensitivity and specificity of the GPA were 100% and 99.2% respectively using serum. With dried blood spots sensitivity and specificity of the GPA test were 100%. The cost of analysing one sample, based on cost of reagents and accessory materials only, was Z$300 for GPA compared to Z$1,200 for ELISA. Furthermore, hands-on time was significantly reduced with the GPA compared to ELISA. CONCLUSION: The GPA method is simple, less labour intensive and much cheaper, yet is equally sensitive when compared to standard ELISA. The high sensitivity with blood spots makes the test ideal for large-scale epidemiological studies in remote rural areas with no infrastructure for advanced diagnostic methods.  相似文献

Surveillance for HIV-1 prevalence and subtypes in Afar Region, Ethiopia was performed among police recruits in the year 2000, by unlinked anonymous testing. Of 408 samples tested, 26 (6.4%) appeared positive for HIV-1 antibodies. There was a trend for higher HIV-1 seroprevalence in women (9.5%, 9/95) than men (5.4%, 17/313), which was significant in one of the 5 administrative areas: Zone 4 (p = 0.01). Around the principal transportation route connecting Addis Ababa to the harbor of Djibouti there was a significantly (p = 0.03) higher HIV-1 seroprevalence of 12.7% (14/110) than elsewhere in Afar Region. In addition, 13 (34%) of the 29 administrative sub-areas (woredas) of Afar Region delivered HIV-1 positive police recruits. Prevalence of syphilis antibodies was 7.4% (30/408), increasing by age, correlating with HIV-1 positive serology (p = 0.001) and with 23.3% (7/30) active cases. Of 22 specimens sequenced, 12 had gp120 V3 regions from Ethiopian subtype C, 9 subtype C' and 1 subtype A. In conclusion, even in very remote areas in Ethiopia, such as Afar Region, the HIV-1 epidemic is established, being primarily of subtype C. Regular HIV-1 surveillances will be necessary to guide action to prevent further spread in this vulnerable area.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate four Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) HIV kits for possible use as a combination at the National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS) in Zimbabwe. DESIGN: Laboratory evaluation, sensitivity, specificity and cost effectiveness of HIV diagnostic kits. SETTING: Blood Transfusion Service (BTS) and Parirenyatwa Hospital in Zimbabwe. SUBJECTS: A total of 346 samples from 245 patients referred to Parirenyatwa Hospital and 101 blood donors at BTS. MAIN OUTCOME: The main goal was to come out with the best combination of ELISA kits in terms of sensitivity, specificity and cost effectiveness for use in diagnosis of HIV infection in Zimbabwe. RESULTS: The best combination kit was the Murex/Innotest with 100% sensitivity and 98.9% specificity, being slightly superior to the Genelavia/Vironostika combination kits in current use at NHLS. In addition, the Murex/Innotest combination has the shortest assay running time and requires fewer internal controls thereby increasing the number of test specimens per run. CONCLUSION: We recommend the use of the Murex/Innotest kits as a suitable combination for HIV infection diagnosis in Zimbabwe. The combination has a relatively low number of discordant results, drastically reducing the cost of running a third confirmatory test to resolve the discordant results. Most importantly, this combination maximizes HIV infection diagnosis by its ability to detect antibodies to HIV-1 groups M and O as well as HIV-2.  相似文献

Major recent advances in HIV diagnosis include rapid screening serological tests that yield results on the same day of testing, new serological tests that detect infection with a wide variety of different HIV infections including HIV-1 group O and HIV-2, qualitative gene amplification tests (e.g.) that help confirm infection in persons with indeterminate serology, and quantitative gene amplification tests that detect low levels of plasma viremia (>50 virions/ml) and provide prognostic data essential for patient management. Major advances in treatment include the development of drug combinations that completely block HIV replication in a large proportion of adherent previously untreated HIV-infected persons, the demonstration that antiretroviral treatment, under some circumstances, prevents transmission - during pregnancy and following occupational exposure, and the development of sophisticated assays for assessing the drug susceptibility of clinical HIV isolates. Ongoing clinical trials will help clinicians choose the optimal treatment for both previously treated and untreated patients.  相似文献

The specificity and sensitivity of an indirect and two (an ‘ordinary’ and a ‘rapid’) double sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) procedures for the quantitation of Calloselasma rhodostoma (Malayan pit viper) venom were examined. The three assays were equally sensitive and the accuracy of the assays was not substantially affected by individual variation in the venom composition. The specificity of the assays was examined against 26 venoms from snakes of the families Viperidae and Elapidae. While the double sandwich ELISA procedures were sufficiently specific to be used in the clinical immunodiagnosis of C. rhodostoma bite in Malaysia, the indirect ELISA procedure exhibited extensive cross-reactivity with other Malaysian pit viper venoms. Attempts were made to improve the specificity of the indirect ELISA procedure for the quantitation of C. rhodostoma venom. A ‘low ELISA cross-reactivity’ venom fraction (termed VF52) was isolated from C. rhodostoma venom by repeated Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography. The indirect ELISA procedure using antibodies to VF52 as immunoreagent showed an improvement in specificity. The use of the indirect ELISA procedure for the detection of C. rhodostoma antibodies was also examined and the results show that the assay was sufficiently specific to be used for retrospective diagnosis of C. rhodostoma bite in Malaysia, in particular when VF52 was used as the coating antigen.  相似文献

This study examines the intersection between needle-sharing practices and HIV recovered from used syringes collected from 73 heroin injection drug users (IDUs) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, between October 2003 and January 2004. To extract blood residue, syringes were flushed and 10 microliters of solution mixed with 120 microliters of a latex solution was placed on a Capillus HIV-1/2 slide. Thirty-five (57%) of the useable syringes tested positive for HIV antibodies. Results varied significantly: 90% of syringes tested HIV positive in a mixed-income neighborhood 2 kilometers from the city center: 0% of syringes tested HIV positive in the outlying areas. In addition, semistructured interviews were conducted with 51 IDUs. The interviews were content coded, and codes were collapsed into emergent themes regarding syringe-use practices. Injecting is a recent practice, particularly among heroin users in neighborhoods far from the city center. Sharing syringes has resulted in a high proportion of used syringes containing HIV-positive blood residue. Geographic distance is an indicator of recent adoption of IDU in neighborhoods and correlates strongly with the distribution of syringes containing HIV-positive blood residue.  相似文献

A series of polyoxometalates have been synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on HIV-1(III(B)) and HIV-1(ROD) replication in MT-4 cells. All compounds showed activity against HIV-1 and HIV-2, but the antiviral potency of the heteropolytungstates varied considerably depending on their chemical structure. The antiviral activity of single, double, and triple Keggin-type of compounds against HIV-1(III(B)) replication was comparable (IC(50): 0.4-0.5 microgram/mL), whereas HIV-2(ROD) appeared to become less sensitive with the increasing number of Keggin structures per compound. The same trend was observed for single and double Dawson structures. Some of these compounds were examined for their inhibitory effect on the replication of HIV-1(RF) and SIV(MAC(251)) in MT-4 cells. Their anti-HIV-1(RF) and anti-SIV(MAC(251)) potencies were comparable to those for the HIV-1(III(B)) or HIV-2(ROD) strain, respectively. The polyoxometalates represent a class of polyanionic compounds, which block the binding of the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of HIV to CD4(+) cells. The compounds interfered with the binding of anti-CD4 mAb to the OKT4A/Leu3a epitope of the CD4 receptor, compound 24 being the most active in this regard, and inhibited the binding of anti-gp120 mAb to infected MT-4 cells. None of the polyoxometalates inhibited the binding of a specific CXCR4 mAb to SUP-T1 cells, suggesting that they do not interact with CXCR4, the main co-receptor for T-tropic HIV strains, and thus act as virus binding, and not as fusion, inhibitors.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: We examined the association of methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) adherence and HIV treatment outcomes among a cohort of HIV/HCV co-infected injection drug users (IDUs). METHODS: We obtained demographic, drug use, and addiction care history from the Vancouver Injection Drug User Study (VIDUS), which is an open cohort study of IDUs. The questionnaires were longitudinally linked to the British Columbia HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program to obtain HAART adherence and HIV treatment outcome data. There were 278 VIDUS participants who accessed HAART from August 1, 1996 to November 24, 2003. We constructed longitudinal logistic models using generalized estimating equations to examine the independent associations between methadone maintenance therapy and the following outcomes: HAART adherence; plasma HIV-1 RNA suppression; and CD4 cell rise of 100cells/mm(3). RESULTS: Among participants who reported at least weekly heroin use, MMT was independently associated with lower odds of subsequent weekly heroin use during the follow-up period (adjusted odds ratio; 95% confidence interval [AOR; 95% CI]: 0.24; 0.14-0.40). We also found that MMT was positively associated with adherence (AOR 1.52; 95% CI 1.16-2.00), HIV-1 RNA suppression (AOR 1.34; 95% CI 1.00-1.79), and CD4 cell count rise (AOR 1.58; 95% CI 1.26-1.99). CONCLUSIONS: Among HIV/HCV co-infected IDUs on HAART, enrollment in MMT was associated with reduced heroin use, and improved adherence, HIV-1 RNA suppression and CD4 cell count response. Integrating opiate addiction care and HIV care may provide improved health outcomes for this vulnerable population and should be further explored.  相似文献
