Background: Determination of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) exposure status in infants and young children is required to guarantee timely diagnosis and access to appropriate care. HIV prevalence among Mozambican women aged 15-49 years is 15%, and vertical transmission rate is still high. The stud...

Introduction: Viral load testing is essential to manage HIV disease, especially in infants and children. Early infant diagnosis (EID) is performed using nucleic-acid testing in children under 18 months. Resource-limited health systems face severe challenges to scale-up both viral load and EID to unpreced...
