Integrated Use of the GeneXpert Platform for TB, HIV and EVD testing in Liberia

2019-10-21

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: The capacity for molecular testing of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Viral load, Tuberculosis (TB) and epidemic prone disease was very limited in Liberia prior to the Ebola Virus Diseases (EVD) outbreak. The use of point of care and near point of care machines for multiple disease testing of HIV, TB and EVD was adopted as a solution to these challenges. The purpose of th...
