Evalutation of four simple/rapid assays and two fourth-generation ELISAs for the identification of HIV infection on a serum panel representing the HIV-1 group M Genetic Diversity in Cameroon

Article Abstract:

The selected HIV diagnostic assays currently used in Cameroon on a panes of HIV-positive and -negative sera, representing the perdominant viral strains and monitor the impact of mutations within the IDR of the gp41 domain on antibodies detection is studied. The importance of prior test evaluations on local serum panels and in field conditions before a national policy for HIV screening is decided on and stress also the need to use tests and algorithms that can reduce the high number of HIV-indeterminate results in Africa.
