Cross-sectional methods for identifying new infections and targeting interventions is critical, but traditional longitudinal studies are costly. This study introduces an innovative approach to identifying recent infection which is of public health importance for both high- and low-income countries in the era of universal access to antiretroviral treatment. This mentored project will also support the development of the investigator into an independent researcher.
