Sexually Transmitted Infections

328
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Prevention
  • Maternal-Child Health

Background:

  • The Illinois Perinatal HIV Prevention Act (IPHPA) was amended to mandate universal repeat HIV testing in the third trimester for all birthing individuals.
  • Ensuring widespread adoption and adherence to this new testing protocol is crucial for preventing perinatal HIV transmission.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the statewide uptake and sustainability of repeat HIV testing (RTTTs) in Illinois during the first two years following the IPHPA amendment.
  • To evaluate the adherence rates to the mandated third-trimester HIV testing protocol.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective, population-based study analyzing data from all birthing individuals in Illinois from 2018 to 2019.
  • Utilized state-mandated closed system perinatal HIV test reporting to track early and third-trimester HIV testing (RTTTs).
  • Evaluated testing adherence, timing (outpatient vs. inpatient), and sustainability using chi-square tests of trend by quarter.

Main Results:

  • In 2018, 80.6% of individuals had both early and RTTTs, with outpatient RTTTs increasing from 71.8% to 85.1% by year-end.
  • Adherence to the IPHPA Amendment for mother-infant dyads reached over 96% in 2018 and 99.9% in 2019.
  • Inpatient testing successfully covered individuals without prior RTTTs, with 93.5% (2018) and 98.8% (2019) tested before delivery.

Conclusions:

  • The implementation of repeat third-trimester HIV testing in Illinois was rapid, highly successful, and sustained over the initial two-year period.
  • The public health strategies employed in Illinois offer a valuable model for other states aiming to implement similar perinatal HIV testing programs.
