Virginia A. Moyer, MD, MPH, on behalf of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force*
Description: Update of the 2005 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation statement on screening for HIV.
Methods: The USPSTF reviewed new evidence on the effectiveness
of treatments in HIV-infected persons with CD4 counts greater
than 0.200 109 cells/L; effects of screening, counseling, and antiretroviral
therapy (ART) use on risky behaviors and HIV transmission
risk; and long-term cardiovascular harms of ART.
Population: These recommendations apply to adolescents, adults,
and pregnant women.
Recommendation: The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen
adolescents and adults aged 15 to 65 years for HIV infection.
Younger adolescents and older adults who are at increased risk
should also be screened. (Grade A recommendation)
The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen all pregnant
women for HIV, including those who present in labor who are
untested and whose HIV status is unknown. (Grade A
recommendation)
