TL;DR
The implementation of the CDC recommendations establishing routine opt-out HIV screening programs in EDs is feasible and further efforts to establish routine ED HIV testing are therefore warranted.

The cost-effectiveness of routine HIV screening in health care settings, even in relatively low-prevalence populations, is similar to that of commonly accepted interventions, and such programs should be expanded.

The addition of nucleic acid amplification testing to an HIV testing algorithm significantly increases the identification of cases of infection without impairing the performance of diagnostic testing.

Sexual behavior predicted HIV infection better than drug use, even among IDUs, and HIV seroprevalence was 5 times greater for indigent adults than in San Francisco generally.

A set of recommendations for prevention, screening, and counseling activities in the ED based on systematic reviews of selected interventions is presented and makes clear the need for further research in this important area.

197 Citations2006A. David Paltiel, Rochelle P. Walensky +5 more
A decision model was used to estimate the cost-effectiveness of same-day rapid test HIV screening, considering outcomes experienced by the infected person and his or her sexual contacts, and transmission-related effects.

In diverse settings in four studies, the OraQuick test showed high sensitivity and specificity for HIV antibody in whole blood and oral fluid specimens, similar to, or better than, that of conventional EIAs.

ED screening detects HIV infection and links to care patients who may not be tested through risk- or symptom-based strategies, but screening detected patients earlier in the course of disease.

In this instance, it was possible to perpetuate an ED-based HIV intervention program during an extended time and identification of HIV-positive patients is possible in low-prevalence ED settings.

Homelessness Prevention programmes should target people with HIV risk factors, and HIV prevention programmes should be targeted to homeless persons, as these populations have significant intersection.

Routine inpatient HIV screening programs are not only cost-effective but would likely remain so at a prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infection 10 times lower than recommended thresholds.
JAMARecommendations for HIV Testing Services for Inpatients and Outpatients in Acute-Care Hospital Settings

These recommendations update previous recommendations regarding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) counseling and testing of patients in acute-care hospital settings and the potential medical and public health benefits of recognizing HIV infection in persons who have not developed acquired immunODeficiency syndrome.

High safety-net burden is not necessarily offset by public funding, and the vast majority of EDs that serve high proportions of uninsured patients do not receive such compensation.

In patients with HIV/AIDS and alcohol problems, efforts to improve housing stability may help to mitigate intensive medical utilization patterns, and these associations were attenuated but remained significant when adjusting for addiction severity and depressive symptoms.
