Abstract

In a large, multiregional cohort of African infants with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) exposure, 44% of those with a positive HIV polymerase chain reaction test lacked a confirmatory positive test. Efforts are needed to ensure high-fidelity implementation of HIV testing algorithms so that all positive results are confirmed.
