The Xpert HIV-1 Qual demonstrated excellent performance for point-of-care human immunodeficiency virus early infant diagnosis (EID) testing using whole blood at health facilities in Tanzania. EID sensitivity at week 6 was affected, possibly due to viral suppression under nevirapine prophylaxis. Point-of-care (PoC) systems for early infant diagnosis (EID) may improve timely infant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) management. Experiences within African public health settings are limited. We evaluated the accuracy and operational feasibility of the Xpert HIV-1 Qual for PoC-EID testing, using fresh blood and dried blood spots (DBS) samples at obstetric health facilities in Tanzania at birth and at postpartum weeks 1, 2, 3, and 6 in HIV-exposed infants. Test results were confirmed using TaqMan DBS HIV-deoxyribonucleic acid and/or plasma HIV-ribonucleic acid (RNA) testing. At week 6, 15 (2.5%) out of 614 infants were diagnosed with HIV; 10 (66.7%) of them at birth (median HIV-RNA 4570 copies/mL). At birth, the Xpert-PoC and Xpert-DBS were 100% sensitive (95% confidence intervals: PoC, 69.2–100%; DBS, 66.4–100%) and 100% specific (PoC, 92.1–100%; DBS, 88.4–100%). By week 3, 5 infants with intra/postpartum HIV-infection (median HIV-RNA 1 160 000 copies/mL) were all correctly diagnosed by Xpert. In 2 cases, Xpert-PoC testing correctly identified HIV-infection when DBS tests (Xpert and TaqMan) were negative, suggesting a greater sensitivity. In 2 infants with confirmed HIV at birth, all tests were negative at week 6, possibly because of viral suppression under nevirapine prophylaxis. Problems were reported in 183/2736 (6.7%) of Xpert-PoC tests, mostly related to power cuts (57.9%). We demonstrated excellent Xpert HIV-1 Qual performance and good operational feasibility for PoC-EID testing at obstetric health facilities. Week 6 sensitivity issues were possibly related to nevirapine prophylaxis, supporting additional birth PoC-EID testing to avoid underdiagnosis. NCT02545296
