Le besoin

  • Acute HIV infections are characterized by the lack of anti-HIV antibodies and the presence of high levels of virus in the blood and a risk of transmission.1
  • Maternal HIV antibodies can persist in a child up to 18 months preventing the use of serological testing for diagnosis. HIV infection in infants can be definitively confirmed only with HIV NAT2 (e.g. PCR) testing.
  • A highly sensitive HIV qualitative PCR test is needed for early diagnosis of HIV infections in high-risk populations and infants.

  • The Xpert HIV-1 Qual XC (extended coverage) test is a nucleic acid amplification test for the qualitative detection of HIV-1 total nucleic acids, on the automated GeneXpert® system and directly from whole blood or dried blood spot samples.
  • It is intended to aid in the diagnosis of HIV-1 infection in infant, adolescent, and adult populations that can be performed in a laboratory or at the point of care.

L’impact

  • Improve access to HIV testing: Designed for near-patient testing in any setting allowing faster delivery of results and medical follow up. Simple sample collection, testing, and results in ~90 minutes.3.4
  • Accurate results for infant diagnosis and acute infections: Earlier detection provides an important opportunity to improve management in all age groups.3.4
  • Reduce time from testing to treatment: Fast track initiation of treatment, reduce risk of transmission and increase retention in care with point-of-care HIV-1 nucleic acid tests.3.4
