Diagnostic performance evaluation of the Abbott Bioline™ HIV-Syphilis Duo rapid test at the national public health laboratory, Yaounde-Cameroon.2026
Background The Bioline™ HIV/Syphilis Duo rapid diagnostic test (RDT) is the first World Health Organization (WHO) prequalified Duo RDT for the simultaneous detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Treponema pallidum antibodies in human blood samples. Several studies have shown the satisfactory diagnostic performance of this test among vulnerable populations such as pregnant women. However, the diagnostic performance of this Duo test is scarce in the general population in Cameroon. The present study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of the Abbot Bioline™ HIV/Syphilis Duo RDT in Cameroon. Methods A laboratory based cross-sectional and comparative study was conducted from January,…

However, there is a lack of data regarding the mental health of adoles- cents living with HIV in Cameroon. Understanding risk factors and protective factors that influence mental health amongst adolescents is critical for effective programming. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence and the factors associated with depression in adolescents infected with HIV and receiving ART in a Cameroonian referral hospital.
