Baylor College of Medicine news release
HIV-1 detection in wastewater offers a novel approach to monitor the virus in communities. Researchers report in Nature Communications that their method, called hybrid-capture genetic sequencing, allows them to analyze viral genomes in detail and specifically identify viral signals coming from community wastewater. Analysis of sites with available clinical data showed that wastewater HIV signals strongly coincided with the number of people known to be living with HIV in that community, providing evidence that wastewater HIV signals can track HIV burden.
