The human immunodeficiency virus poses an increasing health hazard to women. Physicians must recognize this risk and evaluate their patients for human immunodeficiency virus. Because of general increased awareness and the recommendations that all prenatal patients be offered human immunodeficiency virus testing and counseling, more and more women will be tested, yet counseling has not become a routine aspect in the evaluation of patients. This article reviews the key components of human immunodeficiency virus testing and counseling, including test interpretation, risk assessment, risk reduction, and pretest and posttest counseling. Familiarity with these areas should enable the practitioner to feel comfortable in providing this service.
人类免疫缺陷病毒对女性的健康危害日益增加。医生必须认识到这种风险，并对患者进行人类免疫缺陷病毒评估。由于公众意识普遍提高以及建议为所有产前患者提供人类免疫缺陷病毒检测和咨询，越来越多的女性将接受检测，但咨询尚未成为患者评估中的常规环节。本文回顾了人类免疫缺陷病毒检测和咨询的关键组成部分，包括检测结果解读、风险评估、风险降低以及检测前和检测后咨询。熟悉这些领域应能使从业者在提供这项服务时感到得心应手。
