To evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of residents and attendings in emergency medicine (EM) and internal medicine (IM) about HIV.
An electronic anonymous 41-question survey of IM and EM physicians at the University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center.
The survey was completed by 232 physicians (71.6%). EM residents were more likely to routinely offer HIV testing compared to IM residents (60.7% vs. 27.8%, P = 0.0009). Overall, there was no difference in offering HIV testing by sex (32% vs. 35.6%) or by residents versus attendings (33.8% vs. 33.3%). Only 70 physicians (30.9%) were aware of current CDC recommendations of HIV screening with attendings more knowledgeable than residents (41.7% vs. 26%, P = 0.017).
EM and IM residents and attendings fail to offer HIV testing or assess for HIV transmission risk factors with sufficient frequency. There is also a gap in knowledge of the current CDC recommendations.
评估急诊医学（EM）和内科（IM）住院医师及主治医师对艾滋病病毒（HIV）的认知和态度。
对辛辛那提大学学术健康中心的内科和急诊医学医师进行一项包含41个问题的电子匿名调查。
232名医师（71.6%）完成了调查。与内科住院医师相比，急诊医学住院医师更有可能常规提供HIV检测（60.7%对27.8%，P = 0.0009）。总体而言，按性别提供HIV检测（32%对35.6%）或住院医师与主治医师相比（33.8%对33.3%）没有差异。只有70名医师（30.9%）知晓美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）目前关于HIV筛查的建议，主治医师比住院医师更了解（41.7%对26%，P = 0.017）。
急诊医学和内科住院医师及主治医师未能足够频繁地提供HIV检测或评估HIV传播风险因素。在对CDC当前建议的认知方面也存在差距。
