The HIV/AIDS Diagnostic Landscape: What does the Future Hold?
1. The HIV/AIDS Diagnostic Landscape: What does the Future Hold? Maurine M. Murtagh IAS 2011 Rome, Italy July 18, 2011

3. Funding availability has meant most rapid progress in HIV/AIDSMillions of patients identified and more than 6.6 million initiated on antiretroviral therapy
4. But, there is more work to be done. We would like to: SIMPLIFY TESTING IMPROVE ITS EFFICIENCY REDUCE ITS COST INCREASE OVERALL ACCESS TO DIAGNOSTICS BUT, NOT DIMINISH THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE
5. Diagnostics for HIV/AIDS is a Continuum of Testing Rapid Testing and EID ILLUSTRATIVE Need for Service CD4 Chemistry & Hematology CD4 and Viral Load Resistance Testing Chemistry & Hematology Safety Tests for ART Initiation Staging and Monitoring Monitoring 1st Line Monitoring 2nd Line Diagnosis Challenges at any one point can become bottlenecks for patients proceeding further through the HIV care and treatment program. These blockages prevent full realization of potential volumes for ARVs and other tests further downstream, which impacts program costs and also reduces the number of patients proceeding healthily into and through the ART program.
6. The Current HIV Diagnostic Market *1 test every 6 months for the ~6.6 million on ART + 6.6 million on care (CD4) or ~6.6 million on treatment (VL)
7. Factors Limiting Diagnostic Access Diagnostic delivery of EID, CD4 and viral load testing is generally via large and relatively expensive laboratory-based systems that require well-trained technicians and good sample transport networks to provide access to testing for those in some urban, and virtually all peri-urban and rural settings.
8.
9. In some rural settings, up to 40% of patients who receive a positive HIV diagnosis do not receive the follow-up tests they need to help them initiate treatment and monitor disease progression.
10. Additionally, limited capacity at central labs often leads to long patient backlogs and waiting periods between tests.And, further . . . Solutions are Needed
11. New Diagnostic Technologies The diagnostic landscape is beginning to change and may change dramatically with the introduction of diagnostics designed to be delivered at or near the patient point of care (POC). For the first time, we will have the opportunity to deliver EID, CD4 and viral load testing on site in peri-urban and rural settings.
