Query: Statistical Considerations for Cross-Sectional HIV Incidence Estimation
  Based on Recency Test   Longitudinal cohorts to determine the incidence of HIV infection are
logistically challenging, so researchers have sought alternative strategies.
Recency test methods use biomarker profiles of HIV-infected subjects in a
cross-sectional sample to infer whether they are "recently" infected and to
estimate incidence in the population. Two main estimators have been used in
practice: one that assumes a recency test is perfectly specific, and another
that allows for false-recent results. To date, these commonly used estimators
have not been rigorously studied with respect to their assumptions and
statistical properties. In this paper, we present a theoretical framework with
which to understand these estimators and interrogate their assumptions, and
perform a simulation study to assess the performance of these estimators under
realistic HIV epidemiological dynamics. We conclude with recommendations for
the use of these estimators in practice and a discussion of future
methodological developments to improve HIV incidence estimation via recency
test.
