THE TRACE INITIATIVE<\/h5>\n

TRACE \u2013 Tracking with Recency Assays to Control the Epidemic \u2013 was launched in countries nearing HIV epidemic control to establish HIV recent infection surveillance systems to detect, characterize, monitor, and respond to recent infection among newly diagnosed people living with HIV (PLHIV).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/i>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
OUR GOAL<\/h5>\n

Use a rapid test for recent infection (RTRI) for recent infection to provide continuous epidemiological data on person, place, and time of newly diagnosed individuals to inform HIV prevention and control strategies. RTRIs pave the way for a HIV recent infection surveillance system as part of routine HIV testing services (HTS) to detect and characterize recent HIV infection among newly diagnosed HIV cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

WHAT IS RECENCY?<\/h5>\n

Rapid tests for recent HIV infection (RTRI) can help differentiate between recent (i.e. in the past 12 months) and long-term HIV infections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Recent HIV infection tests can provide<\/h2>

real-time data about recent infections to identify hot spots of current HIV transmission<\/p><\/div> <\/div>
