Item Evaluation of HIV-1 Rapid Tests and Identification of alternative Testing Algorithms for Use in Uganda(BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018) Kaleebu, Pontiano; Kitandwe, Paul Kato; Lutalo, Tom; Kigozi, Aminah; Watera, Christine; Nanteza, Mary Bridget; Musinguzi, Joshua; Opio, Alex; Downing, Robert; Mbidde, Edward KatongoleThe World Health Organization recommends that countries conduct two phase evaluations of HIV rapid tests (RTs) in order to come up with the best algorithms. In this report, we present the first ever such evaluation in Uganda, involving both blood and oral based RTs. The role of weak positive (WP) bands on the accuracy of the individual RT and on the algorithms was also investigated.
