Section I. Funding Opportunity Description
Studies of particular interest to NICHD include:
- Research on the discovery of novel and innovative self-test assays optimized for use in infants, children, adolescents and pregnant as well as non-pregnant women to detect the earliest stage of initial HIV infection (ideally less than 2 weeks post-infection) and/or detect HIV rebound in treated individuals as early as possible following treatment interruption or loss of viral control.
- Formative studies of self-test assays that also explore the feasibility, acceptability and use patterns of self-testing in infants, children, adolescents and pregnant as well as non-pregnant women and the consequences of regular self-test use (e.g. appropriate end users, fit with life routines, testing attitudes and unintended uses like serosorting, confidentiality and privacy issues).
