Field Performance Evaluation of the m-PIMAâ„¢ HIV-1/2 VL plasma assay in Uganda
REFNo: HS1606ES

Main objective
To evaluate the field performance of the m-PIMATM HIV-1/2 VL plasma VL in identifying virological failure (VF) in adults on ART. The performance will be compared to standard PCR assays used at UNHLs and UVRI.
2.3.2 Primary objectives
I). To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy using the sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV, FPR and FNR of the m-PIMAâ„¢ HIV-1/2 VL plasma assay in comparison to a reference assay of HIV-1 RNA PCR in identifying HIV-VF at the WHO recommended threshold of 1000 copies/ml for HIV-1 infected.
II). To determine the operational characteristics of the m-PIMAâ„¢ HIV-1/2 VL plasma assay, such as ease of-use of the assay using the standardized system usability scale (SUS) by laboratory and no laboratory personnel
III). To determine changes in turn-around time and ease of clinic workflow integration.
IV).To determine acceptability of the m-PIMAâ„¢ HIV-1/2 VL plasma assay by the study participants
