Influence of an "opt-out" test strategy and patient factors on human immunodeficiency virus screening in pregnancy.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To estimate both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing acceptance rates in pregnancy using an opt-out policy and patient characteristics influencing acceptance. METHODS:At the first prenatal visit, HIV testing was offered using an opt-out approach. Reasons for refusing testing were explored. Demographic information was collected on all study subjects. RESULTS:In the prospective portion of the study, 1,140 of 1,233 women (92.5%) accepted testing. Race was predictive of accepting HIV testing, with Asian women significantly less likely (odds ratio [OR] 0.4; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.3-0.6; P<.001) and Hispanic women significantly more likely (OR 6.9; 95% CI 2.2-22.0; P=.001) to be tested. Although English as a first language, country of birth, and insurance status were not significantly associated with acceptance, women who were fluent in English were more likely to be tested (OR 2.0; 95% CI 1.2-3.3; P=.01). Our testing rates were significantly higher than the provincial average. CONCLUSION:Using an opt-out strategy, HIV testing rates in our clinic were significantly higher than the provincial average. Rates were influenced by race and fluency in English.
