Seroconverting blood donors as a resource for characterising and optimising recent infection testing algorithms for incidence estimation.

INTRODUCTION: Biomarker-based cross-sectional incidence estimation requires a Recent Infection Testing Algorithm (RITA) with an adequately large mean recency duration, to achieve reasonable survey counts, and a low false-recent rate, to minimise exposure to further bias and imprecision. Estimating t...
