HIV Testing

As per available reports about 100 journals, 162 conferences, 30 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to HIV Testing and about 366282 articles are being published on the current trends in HIV Testing. In terms of research annually; USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to HIV Testing are being carried out. As reported in “High Rates of Fatality Due to AIDS without Universal HIV Testing” article by Shiva Shaan Bassi, et al. They audited the cause of death and surrogate markers of HIV patients living in a HIV low prevalence area of the UK. Fatality rates from 2001-2010 were compared to two high prevalence areas. 16/104 newly diagnosed patients died. The median time from diagnosis to death was 4.2 years (<1month-18 years): 6 (38%) died <12 months of diagnosis, 3 (19%) within 5 years, seven (44%) >10 years later; twelve (75%) were male, twelve (75%) Caucasian, eight (50%) were infected through heterosexual intercourse; median CD4 count was 44 cells/microL (range 2-475). Twelve (75%) patients died of AIDS, 4 (25%) of Pneumocystis jerovecii pneumonia. The observed case-fatality rate was 2.3 (95% CI 1.4-3.9) fold higher in this low prevalence area compared to high prevalence areas (p<0.001), where universal HIV testing is promoted. It is possible that an early detection of HIV through universal instead of targeted HIV testing in sexually active adults in all areas of the UK could lead to a reduction of premature death due to AIDS.

The Journal of AIDS & Clinical Research is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing – and is listed among the top 10 journals in HIV Testing. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of AIDS & Clinical Research provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of HIV Testing, AIDS & Clinical Research, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences. The Journal of AIDS & Clinical Research is associated with our conference “3rd International Conference on HIV/AIDS, STDs & STIs" (STD-AIDS 2015) during November 30-December 02, 2015 Atlanta, USA  with a theme “Raising Global Awareness on STD/AIDS and Fighting the Stigma Surrounding the Disease”. The major sessions include Primary HIV Infection, Transmission and Eradication Issues, HIV Diagnosis and Therapy, Social Strategies for HIV and STDs Prevention, HIV Drug Discovery and Research, HIV Related Infections, Co-infections and many more.
