CDC’s Recommendations HIV screening for all patients aged 13 to 64 years – Opt-out screening: patients should be told screening will be performed but may decline testing – Prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infection > 0.1% Written consent and prevention counseling not required Annual HIV screening for those at high risk for HIV Prompt clinical care for HIV-infected persons 5 Branson B, et al. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. (MMWR). 2006;55(RR-14):1-17.

Learning Objectives Analyze the rationale for HIV screening recommendations Assess clinical benefits of routine HIV screening Formulate approaches to simplify routine HIV screening in practice Update on selecting HIV tests 6

Why Routine Screening? Patients do not always disclose or may not be aware of their risk 1 – 39% of men who had sex with a man within the past year did not disclose to their health care provider 2 – 51% of rapid test positive patients identified in Emergency Department (ED) screening had no identified risk Chou R, et al.

Implementing HIV Screening Integrating HIV Screening into Practice Train staff to perform HIV opt-out screening Provide easily understood patient informational materials Be prepared for commonly asked questions Include testing reminders in patient’s electronic medical record 16 Address Patients’ Misperceptions Many patients believe they were previously tested for HIV, particularly if blood was drawn Many patients assume an HIV test was performed and if they didn’t receive a call from the doctor, that they do not have HIV

Implementing HIV Screening (cont’d) State Laws Regarding HIV Testing Requirements to obtain written consent are being phased out.
