8 Development of a Limiting Antigen Avidity EIA to Estimate HIV-1 Incidence Bharat S. Parekh, PhD International Laboratory Branch Division of Global HIV/AIDS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA

9 Tracking the leading edge of the epidemic Monitoring impact of prevention efforts Acute infection based on p24 RNA detection BED-Capture EIA initially developed and commercialized (Calypte Biomedical Corp, Oregon) Mean duration of recency 162 days New and improved assays based on antibody avidity Mean duration of recency 141 days

10 2-well avidity assay to calculate Avidity Index (AI) Singe-well limiting antigen avidity assay (LAg-avidity) LAg-avidity in lateral flow, rapid test format (preliminary stages of development) Specimens include- serum, plasma or finger prick in case of RT Use of recombinant gp41 antigen reduces impact of HIV subtype variation

24 CDC HIV-dB supports for global HIV genotyping surveillance

25 Innovative and accessible HIV diagnostic tools are making important contributions to our knowledge of the HIV epidemic Mulitiplex rapid tests can be useful tools for diagnosis in RSL and can simplify supply chain, training, quality assurance and burden on health care workers HIV Incidence assays appropriate for multiple HIV-1 subtypes can help guide HIV transmission prevention and control efforts Affordable approaches to monitoring HIV DR can be added on to periodic population or sentinel HIV surveys to provide essential data on drivers of HIV DR
