Emergency departments can implement routine human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening following CDC guidelines. Lessons learned from an academic ED program can streamline setup, but cost and sustainability require careful planning.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Management
  • Healthcare Administration

Background:

  • Revised 2006 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines recommend routine human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing in emergency departments (EDs).
  • Implementing HIV screening in EDs presents unique logistical and operational challenges.
  • Previous models for ED-based HIV screening programs are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the essential steps for establishing an emergency department-based HIV screening program.
  • To share practical lessons learned from the implementation of such a program at an academic ED.
  • To provide guidance for healthcare institutions considering similar initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Review of CDC 2006 recommendations for HIV testing.

  • Description of the implementation process for an ED-based HIV screening program.
  • Analysis of operational experiences and challenges encountered during program initiation.

    • Main Results:

    • Key steps for program establishment include staff training, patient identification protocols, and linkage to care processes.
    • Lessons learned emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and addressing patient flow.
    • Initial implementation provided valuable insights into resource allocation and potential barriers.

    Conclusions:

    • Establishing an ED-based HIV screening program is feasible and aligns with public health recommendations.
    • Careful consideration of program costs and long-term sustainability is crucial for successful implementation.
    • This report offers a practical framework to guide the development of similar programs in other academic emergency departments.
