“…Exhaustive and effective tactics for properly identifying pregnant women at risk for HIV-1 are lacking. One study, which screened mothers for HIV-1 antibody through cord blood testing, showed that none of the patients who tested positive had been identified during the prenatal period when a risk assessment screening procedure was used (94). In our own experience, it is not uncommon that the seropositive status of a mother is known because her <15-month-old infant has tested HIV-1 antibody positive.…”

“…Screening programmes carried out on a named basis, allowing for self-exclusion, will tend to produce a participation bias that underestimates rates of infection [Hull et al, 1988;Landesman et al, 1987;Carne et al, 1987a,b;Sperling et al, 1988;Connor et al, 1988;Krasinski et al, 1988;Loveday et al, 1989;Centers for Disease Control, 19891. These fallacies of sampling may introduce even more serious error when estimates of HIV seroprevalence are carried out in very low-incidence populations [Bird, 19881. A similar bias may also affect surveys of neonatal blood samples [Hoff et al, (0 1991 …”

Unlinked surveillance of the prevalence of HIV infection in antenatal patients in the west Midlands, England

In the course of an unlinked, anonymous survey of anti-HIV seroprevalence among antenatal patients in the West Midlands, carried out between November 1986 and March 1990, seven out of 202,012 patient samples were anti-HIV seropositive. Although the numbers of women infected by heterosexual contact are still low in this region, it is likely that HIV infection is no longer limited to well-defined, male risk groups. It is therefore increasingly important to monitor the course of the epidemic through large-scale unbiased surveys of the heterosexual population in order to plan future preventive and health-care strategies.

Objective To determine voluntary human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing rates and factors influencing testing in a private obstetric practice. Methods Antepartum patients were offered HIV testing after completing a self‐assessment questionnaire. Perceived risks and demographics were correlated with testing rates. Results Overall, 348/600 (58%) women consented to HIV testing. In a univariate analysis, patients with “any” perceived risk(s) were more likely to be tested. Single women and those with an at‐risk partner(s) or a history of sexually transmitted disease (STD) were more likely to desire testing. These factors remained independently associated with voluntary testing in a multivariate regression model. No patients tested positive for HIV. Conclusions In our private obstetric practice, 26% of women perceived themselves at risk for HIV infection, and testing rates depended on the various risks identified. A history of STDs or an at‐risk sexual partner were stronger predictors of voluntary testing than was marital status. Focused HIV counseling among pregnant women at relatively low risk for infection may be possible. Infect. Dis. Obstet. Gynecol. 6:209–213, 1998. © 1998 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
