Rapid Testing in L&D
Women in California continue to present to labor & delivery units with undocumented HIV status; if they are HIV positive, they are putting their child at risk for HIV infection. Women who have not received prenatal care or were not offered HIV counseling and testing are at risk for transmitting HIV to their infants. Rapid testing on L&D provides a safety net for identifying HIV positive women and, therefore, ensuring that the hospital provides care that will lower the risk of perinatal transmission. Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the State Office of AIDS, the Northern California Rapid Testing in Labor and Delivery (RTLD) Project assists hospitals with implementation of HIV rapid testing on labor and delivery units.
To request training or technical assistance, please contact Amanda Newstetter at 510-835-3700 ext. 127 or newstetter at jba-cht.com
What We Can Offer
Technical assistance support and training activities are custom-tailored to each site, and may include any of the following:
- Sample policies, procedures, protocols, and forms used for conducting rapid testing in labor and delivery
- Information on currently available rapid testing technologies (cost, methods, sensitivity, specificity)
- Current recommendation for use of antiretroviral drugs in pregnant HIV infected women
- Resources and background materials that support the need for and efforts to identify HIV status in laboring women
- Technical advice on applying to CDHS Lab Field Services for approval to offer HIV rapid testing
- Training and consultation for staff on issues related to:
- Implementation: e.g. initiating the HIV testing discussing with laboring women; gaining consent; laboratory procedures; how and when results are given; medications protocols for HIV medications to administer in L&D and postpartum.
- Staff concerns related to systems changes, additional and new tasks, and identifying and working with HIV-infect women.
- Information on the National Perinatal HIV Consultation and Referral Service.
Routine HIV Testing
In 2006 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began recommending routine HIV testing: All people between 13 and 64 years old should receive at least one HIV test. Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the East Bay AETC is helping community health clinics implement routine HIV testing. In our work with health clinics and our partnership with training sites across the nation, we have developed a variety of resources.
