diagnosed HIV infections in England and Wales”
HIV and STI Department - Centre for Infections
The system in EnglandStudy period, 16 months between Feb 2009 to May 2010Estimated 7950 newly diagnosed infections during this time frame, from ~200 laboratories4116 aliquots from diagnostic samples were submitted to the national reference laboratory2480 linked to national epidemiological database (as of 1st July 2010)Representing 2099 individuals

ConclusionsExperience from England demonstrates national surveillance of recent infections is possible in industrialised countries Application of Laboratory tests for recent information require surveillance informationEstimated costs of 5000 specimens, between 77,000 - £138,000 Among MSM• 1 in 6 recently infected• Similar proportion of recent infections across age groups
Among heterosexuals• 1 in 16 recently infected• Recent infections highest among 15-24 for women, 25-
34 for men• UK acquired
Collect HIV test interval data from clinics to estimate HIV incidence in clinic attendees.

Ongoing work
Testing patterns in ageAscertaining country of infectionCombine with UK resistance database to explore subtype issues, and transmitted drug resistanceFalse long-standing infections relies on quantity and quality of surveillance data, especially self-reported testing historyUse RITA as a basis for estimating HIV incidence• Require knowledge of testing bias, representativeness and
population estimates, repeat test pattern
Are we testing the right specimens?• Should AIDS /low CD4 specimens be called misclassified or
should they just be excluded • Are we wrongly increasing the false recent rate by wrongly
including specimens?

RITA platform
Investigate the maturity of the anti-HIV antibody response by assessing its avidity.Avidity index based upon the rational that avidity increases progressively with time from infection, thus low avidity indicates primary infectionAvidity index applied to other infections including toxoplasmosis, rubella, CMV, HCV, HBV and human herpes virusAI for HIV described by Barbara Suligoi et al 2002Based on an automated AxSYM HIV-1/2gO assay (Abbott)

Sensitivity and Specificity
HIV and STI Department - Centre for Infections
Why determine recent HIV infections (RHI)
Monitoring current burden, or prevalence of HIV infection in populations is a blunt tool for understanding:• Trends in transmission• Impact of behaviour change• Impact of public health interventions
Identifying RHI allows us to track patterns in HIV transmission
Reveal groups at greatest risk of HIV infections and• Tailor of health promotion initiatives to meet their needs• Highlight programmes most effective at reducing transmission
May be used to strengthen partner notification programmes, & target discussions on risk behaviour to recent timeframe.
