Abstract
- Early diagnosis and early treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are essential for clinical and public health benefits. Diagnostic algorithms for early diagnosis are being emphasized, and rapid tests at the point of care have been expanded to improve voluntary testing rates. Despite advances in laboratory diagnostic tests, early HIV infection can still be missed due to window periods, and it is crucial to recognize the limitations of testing methods and the potential for false negative and false positive results.
