Enhancing Quality Assurance in HIV Testing: Innovative Technologies and Strategies

This initiative aims to combat the increasing HIV epidemic in Northwestern Russia through community education and improved diagnostic methods. Collaborating with the University Hospital of Northern Norway and Olafia Clinic in Oslo, we focus on quality assurance in HIV testing. We emphasize clinical and laboratory diagnostics, including antibody and antigen detection, along with comprehensive case management and contact tracing. Our project promotes the use of telemedicine to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve public knowledge about HIV and sexually transmitted infections.

  3. Aim • The Norwegian government has made an initiative in order to combat communicable diseases in Russia and the Baltic region. The University Hospital of Northern Norway (UNN) and the Olafia clinic in Oslo were asked to initiate a project in order to combat the increasing HIV situation in North Western Russia. In order to reduce further spread of HIV, we have put our effort in controlling STIs. We have focused on clinical diagnosis, laboratory diagnosis, and the public health aspect with contact tracing and information. To continue our effort in controlling STI, this project will target HIV diagnostics. Quality-assurance in HIV testing

  4. Diagnostic of HIV 1 • Selection for testing • Sampling for testing • Testing • Antibody detection • Antigen detection P24 Pro HIV 1 DNA HIV 1 RNA • Confirmation of diagnosis • Information to clinician Quality-assurance in HIV testing

  5. The Circle

  6. The Circle We focus on this part of the circle

  7. Quality assurance HIV 1&2 • ABBOTT HIV 1 & 2 • Positive & negative controlls, monitored over time • Calibrators which define cut off • External controlls , do we find the wxpected? • For HIV 1&2 there are may external agents of deliveries.

  8. All parts of this circle is important for giving the patient the correct information. The Circle

  9. HIV & Sexual transmitted Diseases Telemedicine • Improve diagnostic accuracy through • More sensitive and specific diagnostic tools • Enhance knowledge about HIV and sexual transmitted diseases • Use telemedicine as a mean to achieve both through follow up and exchange of competence Quality-assurance in HIV testing
