Implementation of HIV Early Infant Diagnosis and HIV Type 1 RNA Viral Load Determination on Dried Blood Spots in Cameroon: Challenges and Propositions

17 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

The testing of dried blood spots (DBSs) for human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV-1) proviral DNA by PCR is a technology that has proven to be particularly valuable in diagnosing exposed infants. We implemented this technology for HIV-1 early infant diagnosis (EID) and HIV-1 RNA viral load determination in infants born of HIV-1-seropositive mothers from remote areas in Cameroon. The samples were collected between...
