HIV Testing After a First Positive Rapid Diagnostic Test: A Role for Nucleic Acid Testing?

ABSTRACT: We developed an open-access, Excel-based model simulating currently recommended and alternative algorithms for adult HIV testing as a preliminary investigation of trade-offs between accuracy and costs. Despite higher costs, simpler HIV testing algorithms incorporating point of care nucleic acid testing may improve outcomes and thus merit additional research and field testing.
