Inability to recognize incident infection has traditionally limited both scientific and public
health approaches to HIV disease. Recently, some laboratories have begun adding HIV
nucleic acid amplification testing to HIV diagnostic testing algorithms so that acute (antibody-
negative) HIV infections can be routinely detected within the first 1–3 weeks of exposure. In
this review article, we will highlight critical opportunities for HIV treatment and prevention
that are presented by these diagnostic strategies.
