Interpretación de las pruebas usadas para diagnosticar la infección por virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana

Abstract: Desde la aparición de las primeras pruebas de laboratorio que diagnosticaban la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana, hace más de treinta años, el avance tecnológico ha permitido contar con una diversidad de pruebas cada vez más sensibles y específicas, cuya adecuada interpretación en la práctica médica diaria es indispensable para el manejo terapéutico de los pacientes. El objetivo de esta revisión es difundir la apropiada comprensión  interrelación de los resultados de aquellas pruebas de us… Show more

“…This potentially threatens HIV control in prison settings as without proper treatment and viral suppression, ongoing infection could occur within the prison ( 29 ). According to the 2016 Peruvian Ministry of Health's HIV guidelines ( 29 ), all prisoners should be screened with HIV rapid test at admission, and all suspected cases or inmates with inconsistent rapid test findings should be confirmed using either 4th generation ELISA test or Western Blot ( 30 ). This diagnostic algorithm is helpful but certainly does not totally guarantee the engagement with treatment and viral suppression, especially because completion of this algorithm could take up to 4 months to achieve a confirmed diagnosis, delaying access to potentially life-saving care in the health system ( 30 , 31 ).…”

Additionally, the implementation of HIV screening and treatment programs remains heterogeneous across Peru, especially in underserved settings such as prisons ( 30 ).…”

“…La OMS considera que en los países de ingresos medianos altos y bajos, las infecciones más prevalentes son VHB y sífilis, en esta investigación se determinó una mayor frecuencia de infecciones por VHB y sífilis, corroborando lo expuesto por la OMS, de igual manera lo reporta el estudio de Álvarez-Carrasco [14], Rave-Zuluaga y colaboradores [15] en Colombia, y Rodríguez-Leiva [16] en Paraguay, países que indican a su vez, la elevada prevalencia en el marcador serológico de anti-HBc, indicativo que deben realizarse mayores estudios para determinar si existe hepatitis oculta o se trata de una elevada sensibilidad del reactivo que ocasiona falsos positivos.…”
