Abstract
(type = abstract)
The CDC recommends that people from ages 13 to 64 get screened for HIV at least once in their lifetime. Despite the recommendations, some healthcare providers are not following the CDC recommendations for HIV screening. Major barriers to routine HIV screening include lack of knowledge and inadequate training among healthcare providers.
Methodology: The project consisted of providing the healthcare provider education about HIV screening and implementing CDC recommended HIV screening to the practice over one month. The healthcare provider education consisted specifically of modes of transmission, long term effects of HIV, and CDC recommendations. The project consisted of seven participants, 148 retrospective and 148 prospective chart reviews. The design of this project is a one-group pre-test and post-test design coupled with retrospective and prospective chart reviews.
Results: There was an insignificant increase in knowledge about HIV (p = 0.11) among healthcare providers, but a significant increase in HIV screening performed by healthcare providers (p < .0001). In the retrospective sample, 6 of 148 patients (4.1%) were offered the HIV test, and in the prospective sample, 132 of 148 patients (89.2%) were offered the HIV test. This indicates healthcare providers can identify people who are at risk for HIV and link to care.
Implications: HIV screening will help healthcare workers identify people living with HIV by using the CDC protocol and help improve the quality of care and safety. Early screening and linkage to care help reduce the economic burden of HIV and AIDS by decreasing incidence and mortality and reducing transmission. HIV screening leads to more people being aware of their HIV status, which supports the New Jersey Taskforce to End the HIV Epidemic, tasked with ending the HIV epidemic by 2025.
