Adding Nucleic Acid Testing to HIV Screening May Help Identify More People with HIV
Published : June 23, 2010 | | Unrated |

 Community-based HIV testing programs generally use only HIV antibody testing, but nucleic acid testing (NAT) can detect the presence of HIV earlier.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine studied more than 3,000 patients who sought HIV testing in community-based clinics in or near San Diego to examine the yield of testing with a rapid test plus NAT and to see whether patients would be willing to access their results by phone or computer.

| Adu-Brempong, a geography Ph.D. candidate from Ghana, was shot by UPD Officer Keith Smith in his Corry Village apartment.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokesman Mike Morrison couldn’t say whether the video had much of an impact on the final report, which was completed Thursday but not released.
UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes noted the tragic nature of the incident at Corry Village but added that conclusions about the shooting cannot be drawn without a full set of facts.
The State Attorney still needs to analyze the case and make decisions about the actions of the officers involved and the actions of Adu-Brempong, Sikes wrote in an e-mail.
"Our thoughts and concerns continue to be with everyone affected including Kofi Adu-Brempong, the residents of Corry Village and the police officers," Sikes wrote.

UNAA Convention Updates Live! Part 1
Traveling to Chicago was with a few minor incidences, I could not connect to my flight in Hertsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. The plane landed and got entangled in a long queue, more or less like Matatus (taxis) on Ben Kiwanuka Street, by the time I took a train to my gate, it was too late to catch the plane. Thank God this is not EBB because I was imediately re-booked on the next flight out (in 1 hrs time); Delta Airlines neither asked me any questions nor charged me extra fees. If I missed my flight in EBB I probably would have to wait at least two days or probably a week. However, flying is no longer exciting, given that I checked in one bag and still had to pay for it! What happened to those days when flying was fun? The pretzels they give out taste like eating sponge, those little things have no taste at all! The only fun yesterday was the handsome and young flight attendant who happens to be from France, he heard my exotic accent and sensed I was not from the US. So he asked if I am from Africa. He happens to have been to Cote D'Ivoire and he loved it. I talked to him about the rich and diverse African culture and about African music and of course Myafricanmusic.com. Since I had on board access to the internet, I showed the website and he watched one video of Ndombolo, there wasn't much time so he had to proceed with his flight duties. In a nutshell he was impressed by what he saw and promised to be a supporter and regular listener. |
