Pooled PCR testing of dried blood spots for infant HIV diagnosis is cost efficient and accurate
BACKGROUND: Access to qualitative HIV PCRs for early infant diagnosis (EID) is restricted in resource-limited settings due to cost. We hypothesised that pooling of dried blood spots (DBS), defined as combining multiple patient samples in a single test with subsequent individual testing of positive p...
