Abstract
Accurate point-of-care tools are needed to detect early nonadherence to daily HIV regimens and support timely transitions to long-acting options. Emerging evidence suggests that females may require higher adherence than males to achieve equivalent protection. Our next-generation urine tenofovir assay showed high accuracy across sexes but lower urine drug levels among female participants.
期刊介绍:
Open Forum Infectious Diseases provides a global forum for the publication of clinical, translational, and basic research findings in a fully open access, online journal environment. The journal reflects the broad diversity of the field of infectious diseases, and focuses on the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on knowledge that holds the potential to improve patient care in populations around the world. Fully peer-reviewed, OFID supports the international community of infectious diseases experts by providing a venue for articles that further the understanding of all aspects of infectious diseases.
