HIV testing during pregnancy, at delivery, and postpartum / lead author, Rodney L. Wright ; with the Medical Care Criteria Committee

Timely diagnosis of HIV and rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy are crucial to reducing the risk of perinatal HIV transmission and maintaining the health of pregnant patients and their infants. This guideline was developed by the New York State (NYS) Department of Health (DOH) AIDS Institute (AI) to provide evidence-based recommendations regarding HIV testing during pregnancy and at delivery and to promote universal HIV screening for all pregnant patients to achieve the following: Ensure universal HIV screening early in pregnancy, during the third trimester, and during labor for individuals who do not have a documented negative HIV status. Encourage third-trimester testing for syphilis and HIV testing. Encourage HIV testing for pregnant and postpartum patients who exhibit symptoms of acute HIV. Increase uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis among pregnant patients who do not test positive for HIV but who are at high risk of HIV acquisition during pregnancy and postpartum..
