Abstract

VISITECT's sensitivity, but not specificity, met the World Health Organization's minimal sensitivity and specificity threshold of 80% for point-of-care CD4 tests. VISITECT's quality needs to be assessed and its accuracy optimized. VISITECT's utility as CD4 triage test should be investigated. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT04089423.
