Public Health Laboratories (PHL) Role in Rapid HIV Testing
• Provide Confirmation testing on POC presumptive positive rapid tests.• Provide quality assurance testing on POC negatives, if applicable?• Participate in site specific QA programs - provide technical training needs - provide blood borne pathogen and biohazard safety training - provide proficiency samples and/or encourage CDC’s MPEP enrollment.
- provide competency evaluations (site visits?) - provide verification samples and/or quality controls
• more?? (regulatory consults, troubleshooting, etc.)
In July/August 2004 the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) conducted a survey of 56 state and territorial PHLs to assess HIV diagnostic testing practices.
The survey included questions as to utilization of rapid tests within PHLs and the roles that PHLs have played in training for non-traditional testing facilities. - Approximately 10% of the respondents indicated use of rapid tests (in-house algorithm vs. study related vs. off-site PHL supported, not specified). - 45% of PHLs have delivered at least one rapid HIV training course, either their own design or CDC.

Confirmation Algorithm* for HIV Rapid Testing
POC presumptive positive rapid test
HIV-1 Western blot or IFA (serum, plasma, dbs)(Orasure W.Blot only)
Positive Negative Indeterminate
Report as Report as Report asHIV-1 Positive HIV-1 Negative, HIV-1 Indeterminate, request blood (blood) advise 30 day retest. follow up, (Orasure)
request blood retest.

Expectations in the Confirmation of POC Presumptive Positive Rapid Tests?
• Provide quick TAT (county jails, drug treatment centers, ERs)
• Adjust traditional testing algorithms to accommodate a quick TAT
• Serum, plasma or dbs are preferred specimens however Orasure may be the only alternative for some sites.
• Provide additional testing (NAAT, Ag+, etc) or refer to CDC to resolve discordance between rapid and traditional laboratory results.

Florida Lessons Learned (thus far):
• Altering our algorithm has improved rapid confirmation TAT. Is it advisable as numbers increase and testing sites vary?
• Follow up success on discordant cases is dependant on POC testing site. Ex. Jail settings are better than some PH clinics.
• Repeating rapid tests in the laboratory, if possible, on POC presumptive positive cases is a valuable tool in differentiating user vs. assay discordance.
• Sample choice in the confirmation process may limit additional testing needs.
• We clearly have discordance between rapid assays. Need for further investigations!
• We recommend enlisting CDC’s assistance early in the process.
