HIV-1 viral load testing in resource-limited settings: Challenges and solutions for specimen integrity

Howard Newman et al.

Summary: HIV-1 viral load testing is essential for monitoring antiretroviral treatment programs, but resource-limited settings face challenges that affect testing quality. Despite logistical and financial obstacles, innovative solutions exist to overcome barriers and provide widespread access to viral load testing.

Implementation and operational feasibility of SAMBA I HIV-1 semi-quantitative viral load testing at the point-of-care in rural settings in Malawi and Uganda

Monique Gueguen et al.

Summary: The study showed that SAMBA I VL testing is feasible for monitoring cohorts of 1000 to 5000 ART-experienced patients. Same-day results can be utilized for rapid clinical decision-making at rural and remote health facilities, potentially reducing time available for development of resistance and assisting in decreasing morbidity and mortality.

Near Point-of-Care HIV Viral Load: Targeted Testing at Large Facilities

Prakash Ganesh et al.

Summary: The targeted near-POC viral load testing in large HIV clinics in Lilongwe, Malawi showed that it enabled prompt clinical action, effectively managing patients. Although the all-in cost for near-POC testing was slightly higher compared to centralized testing, combining both methods in an optimized national program could further reduce the cost difference.
