Art Initiation For Infants Diagnosed With Hiv Through Point Of Care And Conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing In Kenya: A Case Series
PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASE JOURNAL(2021)
摘要
We sought to understand the sequence of testing and treatment among nine infants offered both conventional and point-of-care testing and diagnosed as HIV-positive by 6 months of age in Kenya. One infant received per protocol testing and treatment. Patient-level (late presentation and disengagement), provider-level (reluctance and error/oversight) and system-level (stock outs, errors) challenges delayed diagnosis and treatment. Early point-of-care testing can streamline testing; however, challenges mitigate benefits.
