Before 2014, the only test used for anonymous voluntary human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening at public health centers (PHCs) in the Republic of Korea was an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which takes around 3 days to obtain results. In 2014, to encourage voluntary anonymous HIV screening tests, the Seoul Metropolitan Government adopted a rapid HIV screening test at PHCs. The rapid HIV screening test was introduced at four PHCs in 2014 and all 25 PHCs after 2015. We compared the numbers of HIV screening tests and confirmed positive individuals before and after introduction of the rapid HIV screening test. In 2012-2013, before the introduction of rapid HIV screening test, an average of 330 HIV screening tests were performed monthly (355 in 2012 and 305 in 2013) and 69 individuals were confirmed to have HIV in 2012 and 93 in 2013. After the introduction of the rapid HIV screening test, anonymous voluntary HIV screening increased to a monthly average of 447 tests in 2014, 2099 in 2015, and 2409 in 2016. These identified 38 new cases in 2014, 116 in 2015, and 143 in 2016. Adoption of the rapid HIV screening test has increased the number of HIV screening tests and confirmed cases.
在 2014 年之前，韩国公共卫生中心（PHC）用于匿名自愿艾滋病毒（HIV）筛查的唯一检测方法是酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA），该检测方法需要大约 3 天才能得出结果。2014 年，为了鼓励自愿匿名 HIV 筛查检测，首尔市政府在 PHC 中采用了快速 HIV 筛查检测。2014 年在 4 个 PHC 中引入了快速 HIV 筛查检测，2015 年后所有 25 个 PHC 都引入了该检测。我们比较了快速 HIV 筛查检测引入前后 HIV 筛查检测数量和确诊阳性人数。在 2012-2013 年，在引入快速 HIV 筛查检测之前，平均每月进行 330 次 HIV 筛查检测（2012 年为 355 次，2013 年为 305 次），2012 年确诊 69 人，2013 年确诊 93 人。引入快速 HIV 筛查检测后，匿名自愿 HIV 筛查检测数量增加到 2014 年的每月平均 447 次，2015 年的 2099 次，2016 年的 2409 次。2014 年发现了 38 例新病例，2015 年发现了 116 例，2016 年发现了 143 例。快速 HIV 筛查检测的采用增加了 HIV 筛查检测数量和确诊病例数。
