| Core Tip |
This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes evidence from low- and middle-income countries on the implementation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-recency testing and its integration with partner notification services (PNS). The findings highlight high but uneven rapid testing for recent infection (RTRI) coverage, moderate RTRI-recent prevalence, and substantial diagnostic misclassification. One in every three recent infections was reclassified as long-term following a viral load confirmatory testing. While PNS demonstrated strong partners contact rates and high HIV yield, critical attrition occurred throughout the cascade. These results highlight the value of RITA-confirmed recency testing and suggest that recency-informed PNS could enhance HIV surveillance and epidemic control when guided by standardized protocols and supported by confirmatory testing. |
