BACKGROUND
HIV screening is recommended for all patients between the ages of 13 and 64 years.
OBJECTIVE
To increase the rate of HIV screening in a primary care setting by routinely offering HIV screening to all patients.
METHODS
All patients seen over a 3-month period in the authors' clinic were offered HIV screening by a medical assistant.
RESULTS
During the 3-month study period, 17% of patients offered HIV testing accepted screening, a large increase from the less than 1% rate of an earlier time period.
CONCLUSION
HIV screening can be increased by routinely offering the test to all patients in the office. Use of trained health care professionals other than physicians may increase the number of patients screened.
背景
建议对所有13至64岁的患者进行HIV筛查。
目的
通过对所有患者常规提供HIV筛查，提高初级保健机构中的HIV筛查率。
方法
在作者诊所3个月期间就诊的所有患者均由一名医疗助理提供HIV筛查。
结果
在3个月的研究期间，17%接受HIV检测提议的患者接受了筛查，较早期不到1%的比率有大幅提高。
结论
通过在诊所对所有患者常规提供检测，可以提高HIV筛查率。使用除医生以外的经过培训的医护人员可能会增加接受筛查的患者数量。
