Abstract:

South Africa has the highest number of people living with HIV in the world. Despite this, many South Africans do not know their HIV status and uptake of voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) has been suboptimal. In clinical settings there are many missed opportunities for HIV diagnosis as most patients are not routinely offered HIV counselling and testing (HCT). Provider-initiated counselling and testing (PICT) has been introduced to ensure that HCT becomes the standard of care in all consultations with health providers. PICT promotes universal access to prevention, care and treatment services for all clients by increasing the utilisation and acceptance of HCT services. This article outlines the rationale for PICT as well providing an overview of the implementation protocol that will equip health care providers with the knowledge required to integrate HCT into routine medical care.

Abstract:

HIV testing and counselling is crucial in identifying new HIV cases and linking them to treatment. Provider-initiated testing and counselling can help to increase uptake of HIV testing and counselling and HIV case detection. We implemented provider-initiated testing and counselling in 32 health facilities in Ebonyi State, South-East Nigeria in order to achieve both objectives. Provider-initiated testing and counselling was implemented across the 32 facilities from January to June 2016. Provider-initiated testing and counselling data were compared with the preceding six months (July–December 2015) when only voluntary counselling and testing was done. A total of 11,787 out of 22,153 who visited the outpatient clinics within the intervention period (53%) were tested. In the preceding six months, only 3172 clients were tested via voluntary counselling and testing out of 50,898 clients who visited the outpatient clinics (6.2%). This was a 3.72-fold increase over the numbers tested via voluntary counselling and testing, within a similar time frame. Also, 158 new cases were diagnosed during the period from provider-initiated testing and counselling compared to 24 from voluntary counselling and testing in the preceding six months – an increase of 4.65-fold in case detection. Apart from the 11,787 tested through provider-initiated testing and counselling, another 6999 clients were tested through community-based outreaches during the intervention period. Comparison of case detection between both strategies shows that provider-initiated testing and counselling accounted for 158 cases (97%) while outreaches accounted for only five cases (3%). Provider-initiated testing and counselling led to an increase in uptake of HIV testing and counselling services as well as in HIV case detection across the 32 facilities where our programme was implemented.

Abstract:

<p>The prevalence of HIV infection is substantially higher in mentally ill individuals than in the general population. Despite this, HIV testing is not yet standard practice among the mentally ill population, and many mental health settings do not encourage HIV testing. This paper discusses provider-initiated HIV counselling and testing (PICT) and some of the ethical dilemmas associated with it, on the basis that PICT may be used to increase the number of mentally ill persons tested for HIV. The authors conclude that PICT should be promoted to all psychiatric admissions and mentally ill individuals receiving outpatient services, and that this is within the parameters of existing policies and legislations in South Africa.</p>

Abstract:

Background: This paper describes the changes in Human Immundodeficiency virus (HIV) testing rates in Autonomous Province (AP) Vojvodina, Serbia since 2000 and compares provider-initiated with client-initiated HIV testing. Methodology: Between 2000 and 2008, 66,327 HIV screening tests were reported from AP Vojvodina. During this time HIV testing rates increased from 1.2 per 1,000 inhabitants in 2000, to 7.7 per 1,000 inhabitants in 2008. Results: The results showed an increase in testing as a consequence of increased mandatory testing of surgical patients as well as an upsurge in the use of Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT). Pregnant women that were tested represented less than 5% of the overall sample population. Conclusion: Public health efforts in AP Vojvodina to increase HIV testing rates lead to a continuous increase in testing rates, but with different limitations. HIV testing in low prevalence middle income countries could be highly affected by procurement difficulties, low motivation of medical professionals to initiate testing, and opportunities for testing limited to large towns and cities.

Abstract:

Latar belakang : Maluku Tenggara berada pada peringkat ke-2 tertinggi kasus HIV/AIDS dari 11 kabupaten di Maluku. Ibu rumah tangga di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Kolser rentan tertular HIV dari suaminya. Rumah tangga daerah ini 40% tidak tinggal bersama karena suami bekerja tidak menetap, selain itu di daerah ini juga terdapat lokalisasi. Ibu hamil yang memanfaatkan layanan Provider Initiated HIV Testing Counselling tahun 2017 sebanyak 76% dari 321 kunjungan, data ini menunjukkan Puskesmas Kolser belum mencapai target Maluku Tenggara terkait program yakni 89%. Tujuan : Mengetahui faktor yang mempengaruhi pemanfaatan layanan PITC oleh ibu hamil di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Kolser. Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasional analitik pendekatan cross-sectional. Subjek 155 ibu hamil di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Kolser yang diperoleh dengan tehnik total sampling. Instrumen penelitian kuesioner, data dikumpulkan dengan metode face to face dan dianalisis menggunakan uji chi square dan regresi ogistik ganda metode backward Hasil : Terdapat hubungan pengetahuan (p=0,000), persepsi manfaat pemeriksaan HIV (p=0,007), dan persepsi kerentanan (p=0,040) dengan pemanfaatan layanan PITC. Ibu hamil yang mempunyai pengetahuan rendah beresiko 3,825 kali lebih besar untuk tidak memanfaatkan layanan PITC dibandingkan ibu hamil dengan pengetahuan yang tinggi. Simpulan : Pengetahuan ibu hamil merupakan faktor yang paling signifikan terkait pemanfaatan layanan PITC di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Kolser Maluku. Kata kunci : Ibu hamil, PITC, pengetahuan, HIV/AIDS Relationship Between Mother’s Knowledge and Perception with the Use of Provider Initiated HIV Testing Counselling in Maluku Background : Southeast Maluku district is ranked the 2th highest number of HIV/AIDS cases from 11 district in Maluku. Housewives in Kolser health center are at risk of contracting HIV from their husbands. Families in this area 40% do not live together, because the husband works non permanently. Another reasons is that in this area there are prostitute houses. Kolser health center is one of the Puskesmas that serves HIV testing in Southeast Maluku. Pregnant women who come to visit PITC in 2017 were 247 mothers out of 321 visits. Purpose : This study aims to explore the behavioural factors that influence pregnant women’s to PICT at the Kolser health center. Methods : This study employed a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study consists of 155 pregnant mothers in Puskesmas Kolser, selected by using total sampling. Data was collected using face to face interview by trained enumerators. Data were then analysed with chi-square test and logistic regression backward method. Results : The finding of this study is that there is a relationship between knowledge (p=0,000), perceived benefit (p=0,007), perceived susceptibility (p=0,040) with the visit of pregnant women to PITC. Compared to pregnant women who do not have sufficient on HIV/AIDS, those who have sufficient knowledge on HIV/AIDS was 3.825 times more likely to come visit PITC Conclusion : sufficient knowledge of pregnant women is the most significant factor related to the utilization of PITC in Kolser health center. Keywords : pregnant women, PITC, knowledge, HIV/AIDS

Abstract:

HIV testing rates remain very low in Colombia, with only 20% of individuals at risk ever tested. In order to tackle this issue, the Corporacion de Lucha Contra el Sida (CLS) has implemented a multidisciplinary, provider-initiated, population-based HIV testing/counselling strategy named BAFI. In this report, we describe the experience of CLS at reaching populations from low socioeconomic backgrounds in 2008-2009. Two different approaches were used: one led by CLS and local health care providers (BAFI-1) and the other by CLS and community leaders (BAFI-2). Both approaches included the following: consented HIV screening test, a demographic questionnaire, self-reported HIV knowledge and behaviour questionnaires, pre- and posttest counselling, confirmatory HIV tests, clinical follow-up, access to comprehensive care and antiretroviral treatment. A total of 2085 individuals were enrolled in BAFI-1 and 363 in BAFI-2. The effectiveness indicators for BAFI-1 and BAFI-2, respectively, were HIV positive-confirmed prevalence = 0.29% and 3.86%, return rate for confirmatory results = 62.5% and 93.7%, return rate for comprehensive care = 83.3% and 92.8%, and ART initiation rate = 20% and 76.9%. Although more people were reached with BAFI-1, the community-led BAFI-2 was more effective at reaching individuals with a higher prevalence of behavioural risk factors for HIV infection.

Abstract:

BackgroundThis study aims to contribute to the improvement of European progress towards 90–90–90 targets and to identify an intervention with a strong evidence base used in better performing countries such as routine testing in primary care.AimTo evaluate the efficacy of routine HIV testing in primary care and identify the barriers and solutions towards successfully implementation.MethodPeer-reviewed studies which measure changes in provider offer rates, patient uptake rates, seroprevalence or CD4 counts after the implementation of routine HIV testing. Studies which identified barriers and solution to implementation were also included. EMBASE and MEDLINE were searched through April 2018. Risk of bias was assessed using the CASP framework, regarding participant selection, randomisation incomplete outcome data, blinding, and use of sensitivity analyses.ResultsRoutine HIV testing shows increased rates of case finding with earlier diagnosis when compared to standard practice. Factors such as sex, ethnicity, local prevalence, and stigma were found to affect patient uptake, while gaps in training, awareness and organisational implementation affected provider uptake. Provider offer rates require adequate education regarding intervention efficacy, electronic medical record use, and result communication. Addressing time constraints with nurse-initiated testing and combined condition testing can improve the clinical workflow. Normalising HIV testing, including reforming pre-test counselling, rapid testing, and education to reduce stigma can improve patient uptake. Further analysis of cost-effectiveness is also required to effectively consider implementation.ConclusionRoutine HIV testing across primary care can improve testing rates, with consideration to barriers towards implementation and further study.

Abstract:

Background Only approximately one in five adults are offered HIV testing by providers when seeking care for symptoms of acute illness in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our aims were to estimate testing coverage and identify predictors of provider-initiated testing and counselling (PITC) and barriers to PITC implementation in this population. Methods We assessed HIV testing coverage among adult outpatients 18–39 years of age at four public and two private health facilities in coastal Kenya, during a 3- to 6-month surveillance period at each facility. A subset of patients who reported symptoms including fever, diarrhoea, fatigue, body aches, sore throat or genital ulcers were enrolled to complete a questionnaire independently of PITC offer. We assessed predictors of PITC in this population using generalised estimating equations and identified barriers to offering PITC through focus group discussion with healthcare workers (HCW) at each facility. Results Overall PITC coverage was 13.7% (1600 of 11,637 adults tested), with 1.9% (30) testing positive. Among 1,374 participants enrolled due to symptoms, 378 (27.5%) were offered PITC and 352 (25.6%) were tested, of whom 3.7% (13) tested positive. Among participants offered HIV testing, 93.1% accepted it; among participants not offered testing, 92.8% would have taken an HIV test if offered. The odds of completed PITC were increased among older participants (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4–2.1 for 30–39 years, relative to 18–24 years), men (aOR 1.3, 95% CI 1.1–1.7); casual labourers (aOR 1.3, 95% CI 1.0–1.7); those paying by cash (aOR 1.2, 95% CI 1.0–1.4) or insurance (aOR 3.0, 95% CI 1.5–5.8); participants with fever (aOR 1.5, 95% CI 1.2–1.8) or genital ulcers (aOR 4.0, 95% CI 2.7–6.0); and who had tested for HIV >1 year ago (aOR 1.4, 95% CI 1.0–2.0) or had never tested (aOR 2.2, 95% CI 1.5–3.1). Provider barriers to PITC implementation included lack of HCW knowledge and confidence implementing guidelines, limited capacity and health systems constraints. Conclusion PITC coverage was low, though most patients would accept testing if offered. Missed opportunities to promote testing during care-seeking were common and innovative solutions are needed.

Abstract:

Background In high-income countries (HICs), migrants often have higher rates of late diagnosis of HIV than the host population. Timely HIV testing has significant implications for HIV prevention and management. Newer HIV testing approaches, namely provider-initiated testing and counselling (PITC), HIV rapid testing (HIV RT) and HIV self-testing (HIV ST), aim to reach those populations most at risk and, particularly, those who have not previously tested for HIV. Methods: This study used semi-structured interviews to examine the (un)acceptability, barriers and facilitators to newer HIV testing approaches (i.e. PITC, HIV RT and HIV ST) among Vietnamese-born migrants (n = 10) in greater-Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Results: Vietnamese-born migrants had mixed perspectives on the (un)acceptability of newer HIV testing approaches. PITC was largely viewed by participants as a facilitator to HIV testing for Vietnamese-born migrants. Likewise, HIV RT (undertaken by a doctor in a medical setting, as opposed to a trained community member in a community setting) was generally considered to facilitate HIV testing. HIV ST was largely not considered acceptable to Vietnamese-born migrants and they would prefer to go to a doctor for HIV testing. Several factors were identified that either facilitate or act as barriers to newer HIV testing approaches, including privacy; cost of (accessing) HIV testing; comfort and convenience; healthcare provider relationship; risk perception; symptoms; and technical and emotional support. Conclusions: There is a need to understand migrants’ HIV testing preferences if poorer HIV-related outcomes are to be overcome. The findings from this study show a preference for doctor-centred HIV testing, due to enhanced privacy, accuracy and support.

Abstract:

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) dan Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) merupakan salah satu sorotan dalam pencapaian target Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). Ibu hamil dengan HIV akan berisiko menularkan kepada bayinya. Tes HIV merupakan gerbang pembuka status HIV yang sangat penting dilakukan pada ibu hamil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan determinan perilaku tes HIV pada ibu hamil yaitu tingkat pendidikan, tingkat pengetahuan, persepsi kerentanan diri tertular HIV, sikap, Provider-Initiated Testing and Counselling (PITC) dan ketersediaan sumber informasi (keluarga dan kader kesehatan). Jenis penelitian adalah potong lintang dengan metode survei. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Puskesmas Mantrijeron dan Puskesmas Sleman yang telah memiliki sarana pemeriksaan tes HIV dan telah menjalankan program Pencegahan Penularan dari Ibu ke Anak (PPIA). Subjek penelitian adalah ibu hamil yang berkunjung ke puskesmas tersebut pada bulan Agustus sampai dengan Oktober 2014 yang berjumlah 54 orang. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Analisis yang digunakan univariat, bivariat, dan multivariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan tingkat pendidikan, tingkatpengetahuan tentang HIV dan AIDS, persepsi kerentanan diri dan sikap ibu. Ada hubungan antara PITC, ketersediaan sumber informasi tentang HIV dan AIDS dari keluarga dan kader kesehatan dengan perilaku tes HIV pada ibu hamil. PITC merupakan variabel yang paling berpengaruh terhadap perilaku tes HIV pada ibu hamil.Determinant of HIV Testing Behavior among Pregnant WomenHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is one of highlighted issues in accomplishing Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) target. Pregnant women with HIV will transmit the virus to their babies. HIV testing is such an opening gate of HIV status that is very important to be conducted on pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the determinant of HIV testing behaviour among pregnant women including education level, knowledge level, perception of selfvulnerability to be HIV-infected, attitudes, Provider-Initiated Testing and Counseling (PITC) and availability of information (family and health workers). This study was cross sectional using a survey method. This study was conducted in Mantrijeron and Sleman Primary Health Care that had HIV testing facilities and executed prevention of mother to child transmission program. The subjects of this study were pregnant women visiting such primary health care on August up to October 2014, as much as 54 people. Data collecting used questionnaire. Analysed used were univariate, biviariate, and multivariate. The results showed no relation between educational level, knowledge level about HIV and AIDS, perception of self-vulnerability and attitudes of women.There was a relation between PITC, information source availability about HIV and AIDS from the family and health workers with HIV testing behaviour among pregnant women. PITC is the most influencing variable toward HIV testing behaviour among pregnant women.

Abstract:

Background: The challenge is to make all HIV-infected people aware of their status so that they may prevent the transmission of HIV to others. Only 25–30% of the people who are HIV positive in India are aware of their HIV status. Guntur district has a high epidemic potential with established transmission among the general population. The objective of the study was to study the socio demographic profile and HIV positivity rates among clients visiting an Integrated Counselling and Testing Centre (ICTC).Methods: This descriptive study is based on secondary data from the records of the ICTC. The data is entered and analysed with MS Office Excel and EPI Info statistical package. Important findings were tested for statistical significance at 5% level of significance.Results: Of the 6940 clients attending the ICTC, 43.34% are antenatal women (HIV positivity of 0.27%). Of the rest, provider initiated clients are 94.02% (HIV positivity 4.38%) and client initiated 5.9% (HIV positivity 20%). The difference of HIV positivity is highly significant (p<0.000001). 61.1% of the clients were found to be between the ages 25 to 49 years. Among the client initiated, more women (7.4%) were seen to be attending the ICTC (p<0.05). High risk professions identified were hotel workers (7.3% HIV positive), local transport workers (6.01%) and petty business (6.22%). Housewives were found to have 3.2% HIV positivity.Conclusions: Self-referral to ICTC is still very poor. The epidemic is shifting to the general populations. HIV/AIDs education efforts aimed at the population in general must be increased.

Abstract:

Background. In order to accelerate the HIV response to meet the UNAIDS 90-90-90 indicators for children, healthcare workers need to lead a scale-up of HIV services in primary healthcare settings. Such a scale-up will require investigation into existing barriers that prevent healthcare workers from effectively providing those services to children. Furthermore, if the identified barriers are not well understood, designing context-specific and effective public health response programmes may prove difficult. Objective. This study reviews the current literature pertaining to healthcare workers' perspectives on the barriers to providing HIV services to children in the primary care setting in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods. English articles published between 2010 and April 2018 were searched in electronic databases including Sabinet, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Key search words used during the search were “healthcare workers’ perspectives” and “barriers to providing HIV testing to children” OR “barriers to ART adherence AND children” and “barriers to HIV disclosure AND children.” Results. There are various barriers to provider-initiated counselling and testing (PICT) of children and disclosure of HIV status to children, including the following: lack of child-friendly infrastructure at clinics; lack of consensus on legal age of consent for both HIV testing and disclosure; healthcare worker unfamiliarity with HIV testing and disclosure guidelines; lack of training in child psychology; and confusion around the healthcare worker’s role, which most believed was only to provide health education and clinical services and to correct false information, but not to participate in disclosure. Additionally, primary caregivers were reported to be a barrier to care and treatment of children as they continue to refuse HIV testing for their children and delay disclosure. Conclusion. Training, mentoring, and providing healthcare workers with guidelines on how to provide child-focused HIV care have the potential to address the majority of the barriers to the provision of child-friendly HIV services to children. However, the need to educate primary caregivers on the importance of testing children and disclosing to them is equally important.

Abstract:

IntroductionSmoke-free policies have been introduced in prisons internationally. However, high rates of relapse to smoking after release from prison indicate that these policies typically result in short-term smoking cessation only. These high rates of relapse, combined with a lack of investment in relapse prevention, highlight a missed opportunity to improve the health of a population who smoke tobacco at two to six times the rate of the general population. This paper describes the rationale and design of a randomised controlled trial, testing the effectiveness of a caseworker-delivered intervention promoting smoking cessation among former smokers released from smoke-free prisons in Victoria, Australia.Methods and analysisThe multicomponent, brief intervention consists of behavioural counselling, provision of nicotine spray and referral to Quitline and primary care to promote use of government-subsidised smoking cessation pharmacotherapy. The intervention is embedded in routine service delivery and is administered at three time points: one prerelease and two postrelease from prison. Control group participants will receive usual care. Smoking abstinence will be assessed at 1 and 3 months postrelease, and confirmed with carbon monoxide breath testing. Linkage of participant records to survey and routinely collected administrative data will provide further information on postrelease use of health services and prescribed medication.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval has been obtained from the Corrections Victoria Research Committee, the Victorian Department of Justice Human Research Ethics Committee, the Department of Human Services External Request Evaluation Committee and the University of Melbourne Human Research Ethics Committee. Results will be submitted to major international health-focused journals. In case of success, findings will assist policymakers to implement urgently needed interventions promoting the maintenance of prison-initiated smoking abstinence after release, to reduce the health disparities experienced by this marginalised population.Trial registration numberACTRN12618000072213; Pre-results.
