description: | Objective: The Limiting-Antigen Avidity Assay (LAg-Avidity) with viral load >1000 copies/ml is being used to estimate population-level HIV incidence in Africa. However, this has not been validated in East Africa where HIV-1 subtypes A and D circulate. Methods: Sera from persons seen in two surveys (2008-09 and 2012-13) limited to those who attended the previous round of the Rakai Community Cohort in Uganda were analyzed. The performance of the current LAg-Avidity protocol, with a mean duration of recent infection (MDRI) of 130 days and false recent rate (FRR) of 0% was compared to subtype-specific MDRI and FRR, adjusted to subtype distributions. Results: The observed incidence was 1.05/100 person-years (py) (95%CI 0.90, 1.23) in 2008-09, and 0.66/100 py (95%CI 0.52, 0.83) in 2012-2013. In contrast, the per-protocol LAg-Avidity incidence estimates were 1.63/100 py (95%CI 0.97, 2.30) in 2008-09, and 2.55/100 py (95% CI 1.51, 3.59) in 2012-13 (a significant increase, P |
