8Data Needs for Strategy 4 Questions 1 - 6
- 1) Number and percentage of false positive
A1/A2 results in truly uninfected persons, as
detected by laboratory-based supplemental
testing. - Only 2 of 11 A1/A2 WB indeterminate or
negative specimens that produced valid HIV-1 RNA
results were negative (2/136, 1.5).
9Data Needs for Strategy 4 (continued)
- 2) Number and percentage of persons referred to
medical care on presumptive positive rapid test
results who are actually in medical care within
six months of receiving the results. - In 2006-2007, there were a total of 148
confirmed positive clients. There were 106
clients (71.6) that accepted referrals for
medical care but only 77 (72.6) reached their
referrals.
10Data Needs for Strategy 4 (continued)
- 3) Number and percentage of specimens with
negative rapid tests (A1-) that were determined
to be false negative results by acute infection
screening and the impact of using risk-based
criteria for acute infection screening. - This study did not test A1- specimens for
acute HIV infection screening. The impact of
using risk-based criteria for acute infection
screening has not been determined.
11Data Needs for Strategy 4 (continued)
- 4) Number and percentage of specimens with
presumptive positive rapid tests results that
have false negative results on the A2 test as
determined by further clinical evaluation. - None of the 38 A2- specimens were false
negative. The 3 A2- specimens (7.9) that were
weekly reactive on the A3 rapid test were HIV-1
RNA negative.
12Data Needs for Strategy 4 (continued)
- 5) Number and percentage of specimens with
inconclusive rapid test results for one or more
of the following - False positive A1 results
- There were 40 false positive A1 specimens
(40/174, 23.0) identified in this study 35
A2-/A3-/WB-, 3 A2-/A3/WB-/RNA-, and 2
A2/WB-/RNA-. - False negative A2 and A3 results
- None of the 35 A2-/A3- specimens were thought
to be false negatives even though HIV-1 RNA was
not performed on EIA- specimens. All 35 specimens
were WB negative.
13Data Needs for Strategy 4 (continued)
- 6) For persons with inconclusive rapid test
results (A1/A2-/A3-) - Number and percentage of clients that are
uninfected - There were 40 clients that were determined to
be uninfected 35 A2-/A3-/WB-, 3 A2-/A3/WB-/RNA-
and 2 A2/WB-/RNA- (40/174, 23.0). - Rates of receipt of laboratory results
- In 2006-2007, 110 of 148 clients (74.3)
received their confirmed test result.
14Data Needs for Strategy 4 (continued)
6) For persons with inconclusive rapid test
results (A1/A2-/A3-)
(continued)
- Whether a change in the message a client receives
from a counselor influences client return rates
to receive their laboratory test results - We cannot say with confidence whether a
counseling message changes the return rate for
clients since so many other variables, including
whether they already knew their HIV positive
status or they went directly to a medical
provider instead of returning to the program site.
