  2. HIV disease progression rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV_disease_progression_rates

    Following infection with HIV-1, the rate of clinical disease progression varies between individuals.Factors such as host susceptibility, genetics and immune function, [1] health care and co-infections [2] as well as viral genetic variability [3] may affect the rate of progression to the point of needing to take medication in order not to develop AIDS.

  3. Viral load monitoring for HIV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_load_monitoring_for_HIV

    HIV is a retrovirus, an RNA virus that enters a host cell and uses the host DNA replication machinery and the enzyme reverse transcriptase to produce DNA from the viral RNA genome. HIV also produces an integrase enzyme which is used to integrate the newly produced viral DNA into the host's DNA. The virus is then replicated every time the host ...

    Posttest odds = 0.015 × 7.4 = 0.111 Posttest probability = 0.111 / (0.111 + 1) = 0.1 or 10% As demonstrated, the positive post-test probability is numerically equal to the positive predictive value ; the negative post-test probability is numerically equal to (1 − negative predictive value ).

  5. Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_HIV/AIDS

    Nucleic-acid-based tests amplify and detect one or more of several target sequences located in specific HIV genes, such as HIV-I GAG, HIV-II GAG, HIV-env, or the HIV-pol. [32] [33] Since these tests are relatively expensive, the blood is screened by first pooling some 8–24 samples and testing these together; if the pool tests positive, each ...

  6. Incidence (epidemiology) - Wikipedia

    That is a total of (1500 + 275) = 1775 person-years of life. Now take the 50 new cases of HIV, and divide by 1775 to get 0.028, or 28 cases of HIV per 1000 population, per year. In other words, if you were to follow 1000 people for one year, you would see 28 new cases of HIV. This is a much more accurate measure of risk than prevalence.

    More than 2,400 patients at hospitals around Portland, Oregon, may have been exposed to infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and C, as well as HIV, because of an anesthesiologist who may not ...

    and = / / = While the prevalence is only 9% (9/100), the odds ratio (OR) is equal to 11.3 and the relative risk (RR) is equal to 7.2. Despite fulfilling the rare disease assumption overall, the OR and RR can hardly be considered to be approximately the same. However, the prevalence in the exposed group is 40%, which means is not sufficiently small
