As of September 2010, New York State (NYS) Public Health Law mandates the offer of HIV testing to all persons aged 13-64 years receiving hospital or primary care services. Changes in the number of HIV tests 13 months before and after law enactment were assessed using HIV test volume data from 166 laboratories holding NYS permits to conduct HIV testing on specimens originating in NYS. Compared with the pre-enactment baseline, overall HIV testing volume increased by 13% following enactment, with the volume of conventional and rapid HIV screening tests increasing by 12.0% and 13.7%, respectively. These data suggest that testing law is having an impact consistent with the legislative intent to increase HIV testing in NYS. Monitoring should be continued to assess testing trends across a variety of health care venues to identify and address additional barriers to HIV testing access.
截至2010年9月，纽约州（NYS）的公共卫生法规定，必须为所有年龄在13至64岁、接受医院或初级保健服务的人提供艾滋病毒检测。利用来自166家持有纽约州许可证、可对源自纽约州的标本进行艾滋病毒检测的实验室的艾滋病毒检测量数据，评估了法律颁布前后13个月内艾滋病毒检测数量的变化。与颁布前的基线相比，颁布后艾滋病毒检测总量增加了13%，传统艾滋病毒筛查检测量和快速艾滋病毒筛查检测量分别增加了12.0%和13.7%。这些数据表明，检测法律正在产生与纽约州增加艾滋病毒检测的立法意图相一致的影响。应继续进行监测，以评估各种医疗保健场所的检测趋势，识别并消除艾滋病毒检测获取方面的其他障碍。
