RECENCY

Tracking with Recency Assays to Control the Epidemic (TRACE) aims to establish recent infection surveillance to monitor and respond to the HIV epidemic, specifically focusing on recent infections among newly diagnosed PLHIV. As the global response moves closer to achieving 95-95-95, TRACE identifies and responds to the remaining pockets of ongoing transmission. Recent infection surveillance systems can more rapidly characterize the leading edge of the epidemic and allow countries to implement the right interventions, for the right populations, at the right time... TRACE - Tracking with Recency Assays to Control the Epidemic - was launched in countries nearing HIV epidemic control to establish HIV recent infection surveillance systems to detect, characterize, monitor, and respond to recent infection among newly diagnosed people living with HIV (PLHIV).
