Diagnostics for monitoring AIDS in resource-limited settings

    HIV-1/AIDS has become a pandemic since it was first reported in 1981, afflicting an

enormous economic burden on developing countries and posing a great health threat to the

world. Although antiretroviral treatment (ART) cannot cure HIV-1/AIDS, it remains to be the

most effective method to decrease AIDS-related mortality. However, successful treatment

needs closely monitoring of immunological and virological responses within AIDS patients. In

the developed world, CD4+ cell count and viral load assays are extensively used for ART

monitoring, whereas clinical manifestations are mainly used in the developing world. Given

the wide accessibility of cheap ART drugs in resource-limited settings, there is an urgent

need for affordable, rapid, and simple diagnostics for ART monitoring. In this presentation,

I would like to talk about the state-of-the-art technologies used to develop monitoring

tools in resource-limited settings.
