 An estimated 1,148,200 persons in the United States live with HIV  About 50,000 new HIV infections occur in the United States each year  Each year, approximately million persons in the United States are tested for HIV  An estimated 38%-44% of all adults had been tested for HIV  Approximately 1 in 5 (18%, or 207,600 persons) do not know they are HIV- infected. 3 US CDC,

 Earlier detection leads to improved treatment outcomes  HIV-infection status awareness is associated with reduced transmission risk behavior  HIV-infected persons on treatment are less infectious 4

 Detect human antibodies to surface proteins  Detect human antibodies to surface, matrix and capsule proteins  Detect HIV antigen (P24 capsule protein)  Detect RNA  Detect DNA, integrated within cells 7

 1 st generation—viral lysate  2 nd generation—synthetic antigen + HIV-2  3 rd generation—IgM and IgG  4 th generation—p24 + IgM and IgG 8

 Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EIA)  1 st generation—viral lysate  2 nd generation—synthetic antigen and HIV-2  3 rd generation—IgM and IgG  4 th generation—p24 + IgM and IgG  Western blot  Immunofluorescent assay 9

 ELISA = Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay.  This technique is based on the lock and key theory of antibodies.  Antibodies and antigens work like locks and keys.  One antibody fits one antigen.  Having the antibody means the antigen is also present.  ELISA technique involves placing HIV antigens (locks) on the bottom of a microwell cup  The microwell is then filled with the serum to be tested.  If the appropriate anti-HIV antibodies are present (keys), they will stick to the antigens (locks). 10

 Since antibodies are proteins too, they themselves are also antigens.  Scientist developed an anti-HIV antibody antibody. So this new antibody sticks to the back of the first antibody.  This second antibody has an enzyme is attached to it.  When a reactive substrate is added to the mix, the enzyme will turn the substrate a different color (usually red).  If the serum to be tested contains anti- HIV antibodies, the liquid in the microwell will turn red. 11

 The method of 3rd generation of HIV ELISA test is double antigen sandwich  Detect all kinds of antibody of HIV  Improved sensitivity and specificity as well.  The main laboratory-based diagnostic ELISA test worldwide now. 15

 The method of 4th generation of HIV ELISA test is that HIV antigen and p24 antigen coat the vector simultaneously  Detect the HIV P24 and HIV antibody in the sample at the same time.  So, it could be used for detection for the samples of window period which shows positive in HIV P24 antigen tests but is not transformed into HIV infection. 16

17 Identifies antibodies against eight HIV-1 encoded proteins: p18, p24, p31, gp41, p51, p55, p65/66, gp120/p160. Criteria require antibodies against any two of the following HIV-1 proteins: p24, gp41, gp120/160. Specimens showing reactivity to HIV-1 protein(s), but not fulfilling the criteria for a positive result, are reported as Indeterminate. All indeterminate Western blots are further tested in supplemental HIV-1 and HIV-2 specific assays. A negative Western blot has no detectable bands, i.e. no antibodies reacting to either HIV-1 or non-HIV-1 proteins.

18 HIV Immunoflourescent assay

 Used to diagnose HIV infection  Resolve indeterminate HIV-antibody results 19

 Used to monitor antiviral therapy and to predict disease progression in HIV infected persons.  In conjunction with a positive DNA PCR or a reactive EIA, the RNA quantitation may be diagnostic.  High levels of RNA are found during acute infection and in patients who are more likely to have disease progression.  Inhibition of cell-free HIV, as reflected by RNA copy number, is associated with better CD4 response and clinical response in some patient populations.  The dynamic range for HIV RNA detection by Real-Time PCR is 30 to 1,000,000 copies/mL of plasma.  Often use in newborns and infants for early diagnosis 20

 The detection of cell associated Human Immunodeficiency Proviral DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification is one of the most sensitive non-serologic methods for confirming HIV infection.  This assay is recommended for confirming HIV infection in the neonate.  HIV DNA PCR may also be used as a supplemental test to determine the significance of an indeterminate HIV Western Blot serology result. 21

 Culture is an extremely sensitive virologic method for documenting HIV infection, especially in neonates whose serologies are complicated by the presence of maternal antibody 22

 The assay involves sequencing of the HIV pol gene, after which mutations in the gene can be compared to sequences known to confer resistance to different classes of antiretroviral drugs.  The assay is most useful in patients who lose viral suppression on antiretroviral therapy and should be performed before switches in therapy are entertained. 23
