Roche Educational Symposium

Qual-ing it what it is: Current Diagnostic Options in HIV Diagnosis

Thursday, May 8    •   12:45-1:30pm EST

 

This session will review the generational development of HIV diagnostics from original inception to the current diagnostic algorithm, utilizing 4th/5th generation HIV tests. This session will also describe the implementation of a qualitative HIV-1/-2 test within the institutional HIV diagnostic algorithm at Eskenazi Health in Indianapolis, Indiana. We will discuss the logistical, administrative, and key stakeholders required to onboard this diagnostic and technological shift.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the current testing algorithm for the diagnosis of HIV.
  • Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating a qualitative HIV-1/-2 test within an institution’s diagnostic algorithm.
  • Assess several key factors that should be considered when onboarding a novel diagnostic test into an existing workflow.
