Objectives: We investigated if Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) testing on urine samples among newly diagnosed HIV-patients as an adjunctive test to Xpert testing on sputum increases diagnosis. We sought to define subgroups of patients, for whom testing with either test is especially advantageous.
Methods: We included patients >15 years, newly diagnosed with HIV, that delivered a urine sample on the day of HIV-diagnosis at the biggest HIV-clinic in Guinea-Bissau between September 5, 2016 and October 13, 2017 into a cross-sectional study.
