Abstract

AUGUSTO, Nalia Ismaell Orvalho et al. External Quality Assessment Programme for Early Infant Diagnosis of HIV-1, Mozambique, 2011-2014. Afr. J. Lab. Med. [online]. 2018, vol.7, n.1, pp.1-5. ISSN 2225-2010.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/ajlm.v7i1.664.

This study evaluated a National External Quality Scheme Program for early infant diagnosis of HIV. Fourteen laboratory technicians participated and nine testing panel cycles were sent between 2011 and 2014. The response rate was 100% for the first eight panels, and the number of technicians with a test score of 100% increased during the first three panels. Based on the evaluations of the technicians, the quality of testing for early infant diagnosis of HIV improved over time in the laboratories.
