Routine HIV Testing Recommended for All Women, Regardless of Individual Risk
Factors
WASHINGTON, DC -- August 1, 2008 -- A committee opinion issued by the
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends HIV
screening for all women aged 19 to 64 years, regardless of their risk
factors. The recommendation is published in the August issue of Obstetrics
and Gynecology. Implementation of this screening recommendation will be a
dramatic shift for some ob/gyn practices, especially those that are
currently testing only pregnant patients, patients at high risk, and/or upon
patient request. "Women represent the fastest growing population of persons
infected with HIV in this country, and heterosexual transmission has become
a much bigger factor," said Denise J. Jamieson, MD, Committee on Gynecologic
Practice, ACOG, Washington, DC. "ACOG recommends routine HIV screening for
all women aged 19 to 64 years, regardless of pregnancy status or what their
risk factors might be. "ACOG also recommends targeted screening for women
outside this age range who are at high risk. For example, all sexually
active teenagers under 19 years should be tested, as well as women older
than 64 years who have had multiple partners in recent years," said Dr.
Jamieson. Today's recommendation on HIV screening emphasises "opt-out"
testing as the preferred approach.
