Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory evaluation of four HIV/syphilis rapid diagnostic tests
Annelies Van Den Heuvel,Hilde Smet,Irena Prat,Anita Sands,Willy Urassa,Katrien Fransen,Tania Crucitti +6 more
TL;DR: Although these results suggest that the tests could further improve in accuracy in detection of treponemal antibodies, their introduction into screening programmes to increase the accessibility of HIV/Syphilis diagnosis and treatment for difficult to reach populations in the world is promising.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and epidemiology of HIV type 1 drug resistance among newly diagnosed therapy-naive patients in Belgium from 2003 to 2006.

TL;DR: The results support the implementation of genotypic resistance testing as a standard of care in all treatment-naive patients in Belgium and might jeopardize the success of first line treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and spread to the native population of HIV-1 non-B subtypes in two European countries with high migration rate
Kenny Dauwe,Virginie Mortier,Marlies Schauvliege,Annelies Van Den Heuvel,Katrien Fransen,Jean-Yves Servais,Danielle Perez Bercoff,Carole Seguin-Devaux,Chris Verhofstede +8 more
TL;DR: The extent to whichNon-B subtypes spread in the native Belgian-Luxembourg population is higher than expected, with 30.5 % of the non-B infections diagnosed in native Western Europeans resulted from hetero- as well as homosexual transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decision tree for accurate infection timing in individuals newly diagnosed with HIV-1 infection
Chris Verhofstede,Katrien Fransen,Annelies Van Den Heuvel,Kristel Van Laethem,Kristel Van Laethem,Jean Ruelle,Ellen Vancutsem,Karolien Stoffels,Sigi Van den Wijngaert,Marie-Luce Delforge,Dolores Vaira,Laura Hebberecht,Marlies Schauvliege,Virginie Mortier,Kenny Dauwe,Steven Callens +15 more
TL;DR: A step-wise multi assay decision tree allows accurate timing of the HIV infection at diagnosis at affordable effort and cost and can be an important new tool in studies analyzing the dynamics of local epidemics or the effects of prevention strategies.
