Clinical practice guidelines conflict on which populations should be screened for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 with the HIV test. The conflict is whether the underlying prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus to justify screening is 1% or 0.2%.
The Centers for Disease Control states:[1]
- "HIV screening is recommended for patients in all health-care settings after the patient is notified that testing will be performed unless the patient declines (opt-out screening)"
- "Routine, rapid HIV testing is recommended for all adults except in settings where there is evidence that the prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infection is below 0.2%."
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force states:[2]
- "strongly recommends that clinicians screen for HIV all adolescents and adults at increased risk for HIV infection". Regarding the definition of increased risk, the Task Force states "High-prevalence settings are defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as those known to have a 1% or greater prevalence of infection "[2]
A subsequent cost-benefit analysis supported the threshold of 0.2%.[3]
Human rights
The UNAIDS/WHO policy statement on HIV Testing states that conditions under which people undergo HIV testing must be anchored in a human rights approach which pays due respect to ethical principles.[4] According to these principles, the conduct of HIV testing of individuals must be:
- Confidential
- Accompanied by counseling
- Conducted with the informed consent of the person being tested
