“…False anti-HCV-negative results from the Chembio and MedMira assays occurred more often when the specimen was from persons coinfected with HIV, similar to the findings of other studies using other assays [26][27][28]. Of the 43 HIV-positive specimens in one study, 60%…”

“…Of persons who consented to an HIV rapid test, 99% received their results and prevention counselling and >94% went to their first clinic appointment [26,32,33]. Since rapid HIV testing improves receipt of HIV test results [26][27][28]34], access to care and health outcomes [26,32,33], it follows that rapid anti-HCV assays can similarly benefit high-risk populations. Rapid, point-of-care testing for HCV can expedite and assist in the identification of those HCV-infected persons who are unaware of their infection, presenting new opportunities to provide prevention counselling messages and referrals for follow-up.…”

Approximately 4.1 million Americans have been infected with HCV and 45-85% of chronically infected persons are unaware of their status. Rapid anti-HCV assays can assist and expedite the identification of those unaware of their infection. Performance characteristics of pre-market rapid anti-HCV assays (Chembio, MedMira and OraSure) have been evaluated. Their sensitivity (78.9-99.3%) and specificity (80-100%) varied. Future investigations could include evaluation of rapid anti-HCV tests in persons who are coinfected with HCV and HIV, and development of rapid HCVantigen tests and nucleic acid tests.

“…RESPECT is one of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBIs) programs [6]. RESPECT is an individual-level program, can be delivered in two sessions of 20-30 min in length, and has demonstrated success in changing behavior and reducing STI prevalence [7][8][9].…”

The economic downturn of 2007 created significant fiscal losses for public and private agencies conducting behavioral prevention. Such macro-economic changes may influence program implementation and sustainability. We examined how public and private agencies conducting RESPECT, a brief HIV/STI (sexually transmitted infection) counseling and testing intervention, adapted to fiscal loss and how these adaptations impacted program fidelity. We collected qualitative and quantitative data in a national sample of 15 agencies experiencing fiscal loss. Using qualitative analyses, we examined how program fidelity varied with different types of adaptations. Agencies reported three levels of adaptation: agency-level, program-level, and direct fiscal remedies. Private agencies tended to use direct fiscal remedies, which were associated with higher fidelity. Some agency-level adaptations contributed to reductions in procedural fit, leading to negative staff morale and decreased confidence in program effectiveness, which in turn, contributed to poor fidelity. Findings describe a "work stress pathway" that links program fiscal losses to poor staff morale and low program fidelity.

“…9 Rapid assays enable specimens to be collected and tested at the POC and do not require a follow-up visit to receive antibody test results. Just as rapid HIV testing increases the likelihood that PWID receive HIV test results 11,13,15,20 and improves access to care and health outcomes, 10,11 rapid anti-HCV assays could benefit young PWID similarly.…”

Relative Efficacy of Prevention Counseling With Rapid and Standard HIV Testing: A Randomized, Controlled Trial (RESPECT-2)

Abstract: Counseling with either test had similar effects on STD incidence. For some persons, counseling with standard testing may be more effective than counseling with rapid testing.
