Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the etiologic
agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
AIDS, first described in 1981, caused more than 35 million
deaths within the last 30 years. Prevention of HIV/AIDS
requires early diagnosis, initiation of treatment, and
regular monitoring of the infected person in terms of
plasma viral load. In addition, the information about the
incidence which will be determined by the use of accurate
and sensitive tests will help efforts to prevent HIV in public
health studies. For this reason, the development of more
appropriate point of care bedside test technologies that will
allow early diagnosis of HIV, measurement of viral load,
and determination of CD4 (+) cell numbers are important.
Consequently, it is important to prevent viral transmission
in order to have new generations without AIDS disease.
