Abstract:
This guideline document first briefly reviews the public health importance of estimating the HIV incidence in populations, and the various methods that have been used for this purpose. It then provides guidance on the way in which laboratory tests for recent HIV infection may be used to estimate HIV incidence in populations, particularly with regard to sampling designs, sample size and the statistical analyses that should be employed.
