Verification of False Reactivity in HIV Rapid Diagnostic Tests and Its Translation Into the Three Tests Algorithm in Cameroon

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Verification study enabled the detection of HIV false reactivity ranging from 0‐4% across rapid diagnostic tests. A reliable three‐tests algorithm ranked First Response HIV 1‐2‐0 Card, First Response HIV1+2/Syphilis Combo or STANDARD Q as suitable test 1 to mitigate false positive events. As countries move toward HIV elimination, implementing the three‐

Performance Evaluation of the VISITECT CD4 Lateral Flow Point‐Of‐Care Assay for Identifying Advanced HIV Disease

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
The VISITECT CD4 lateral flow assay (LFA) was evaluated for identifying advanced HIV disease (CD4 ≤ 200 cells/μL) during routine programmatic implementation in Argentina. The assay showed 100% sensitivity, while specificity improved after observer training, reflecting reduced reader‐dependent variability.

Cost-effectiveness of tenofovir instead of zidovudine for use in first-line antiretroviral therapy in settings without virological monitoring. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: The most recent World Health Organization (WHO) antiretroviral treatment guidelines recommend the inclusion of zidovudine (ZDV) or tenofovir (TDF) in first-line therapy.

Stoichiometric Binding of Cyclophilin‐A to The HIV‐1 Capsid Modulates Its Mechanoelastic Properties

Small, EarlyView.
The HIV‐1 capsid is a protein nanocapsule that must balance rigidity and flexibility to enter the cell nucleus. Atomic force microscopy simulations reveal that binding of the host protein Cyclophilin A tunes this mechanical response: partial coverage preserves deformability, while excessive binding induces brittleness and failure.

Naturally Occurring ZCCHC3 Variants Modulate Antiretroviral Activity in Cynomolgus Macaques

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many mammalian cells restrict viral replication by utilizing various host restriction factors. We recently demonstrated that CCHC‐type zinc‐finger‐containing protein 3 (ZCCHC3) suppresses human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) replication through multiple mechanisms.

Response to antiretroviral therapy after a single, peripartum dose of nevirapine. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: A single dose of nevirapine during labor reduces perinatal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) but often leads to viral nevirapine resistance mutations in mothers and infants.

Mortal relationality: waria family care and the ethics of dying in Bali Relationnalité mortelle : soins familiaux des waria et éthique des mourants à Bali

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Can a good death occur for those who balance on the edges of grievability? In Bali, where death marks a transition within the cycles of reincarnation, a good death depends on the mortuary care performed by intimate others – care that may be foreclosed to those whose lives are shaped by stigma.
