Counseling and testing persons for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a key component of the public health strategy for reducing transmission of HIV in the United States (1,2). In 1991, the federal government allocated $100 million to state and local health agencies to provide counseling and testing programs in public clinics for at-risk persons, including persons who may not otherwise use public health services. However, the relative contribution of HIV-testing in public clinics to HIV testing in the private sector is unknown. To compare HIV testing in Oregon public clinics to overall HIV testing, the Health Division (HD) of the Oregon Department of Human Resources, in cooperation with CDC, reviewed data collected from September 1, 1988, through August 31, 1991, on public and private HIV testing in Oregon. This report summarizes findings for HIV testing rates and assesses the importance of publicly funded testing in identifying HIV-seropositive persons.
为感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的人群提供咨询和检测,是美国减少HIV传播公共卫生策略的关键组成部分(1,2)。1991年,联邦政府拨款1亿美元给州和地方卫生机构,用于在公共诊所为高危人群,包括那些可能不会使用其他公共卫生服务的人群,提供咨询和检测项目。然而,公共诊所的HIV检测在私营部门HIV检测中所占的相对比例尚不清楚。为了比较俄勒冈州公共诊所的HIV检测与总体HIV检测情况,俄勒冈州人力资源部卫生司与疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)合作,审查了1988年9月1日至1991年8月31日期间收集的俄勒冈州公共和私营部门HIV检测数据。本报告总结了HIV检测率的调查结果,并评估了公共资助检测在识别HIV血清阳性者方面的重要性。
