New On-Spot test aims to get HIV-Positive babies on treatment faster

NCT ID NCT03133728

Summary

This study tested a new, faster HIV test for babies and young children in Zambia. The goal was to see if getting test results right away, at the community clinic, would help more HIV-positive infants start life-saving antiretroviral therapy (ART) sooner. Researchers also wanted to know if mothers and healthcare workers found the new testing method easy and acceptable to use.
