Routine prenatal screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in pregnant women is effective in detecting infections. Universal HIV testing during pregnancy is recommended, especially in high-prevalence areas.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology

Context:

  • Evaluating the utility of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening during pregnancy.
  • Assessing the prevalence of HIV infection in an urban Spanish population.
  • Implementing routine prenatal screening for HIV antibodies from 1992 to 1995.

Purpose:

  • To determine the effectiveness of routine prenatal HIV screening.
  • To ascertain the prevalence of HIV among pregnant women in the Fuenlabrada-Leganés Health Care Area, Madrid.
  • To compare the detection rates of HIV screening based on risk behavior versus universal screening.

Summary:

  • A study of 11,021 pregnant women found an HIV prevalence of 0.28%.
  • Routine prenatal screening detected 87.1% of seropositive women.

  • A significant proportion of HIV-positive women did not initially report risk behaviors, highlighting the limitations of risk-based screening.

    • Impact:

    • Routine HIV screening in pregnant women is crucial for early detection and management.
    • Universal screening, with informed consent, is more effective than risk-based selection for identifying HIV infections in pregnancy.
    • Findings support the implementation of widespread HIV testing in prenatal care settings, particularly in areas with higher infection rates.
