Objective. To estimate the prevalence of unknown HIV infection in patients who consulted in hospital emergency services (ED) for conditions defined in the SEMES-GESIDA Consensus Document (DC), evaluate the efficiency of its im-plementation and investigate the efficiency of HIV serology determination in other conditions. Methods. Results were reviewed in 10 Catalan EDs for 12 months (July-21-June-22) after implementing CD recommendations: request HIV serology in case of suspected sexually transmitted infection, chemsex, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), mononucleosis syndrome, community pneumonia (18-65 y-o) or herpes zoster (18-65 y-o). Other reasons for request were included. Prevalence (%) of global seropositivity and for each circumstance was calculated, with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI). The efficient strategy was considered if the lower limit of the CI95%>0.1%. Results. A total of5,107 HIV serologies were performed: 2,847(56%) in situations specified in CD, and 2,266 (44%) in other 138 circumstances. Forty-eight unknown HIV infections were detected (prevalence=0.94%;95%CI=0.69-1.24). The prevalence was somewhat higher in DC requests (30 cas-es 1.12%) than the rest (18 cases 0.71%; p=0.16). The individualized prevalence of CD reasons ranged between 7.41% (95%CI=0.91-24.3) in chemsex and 0.42% 95%CI=0.14-0.98) in PPE, always efficient except herpes zoster (0.76%; CI95%=0.02-4.18). In other reasons, cases were detected in 12 circumstances, and in four the determination could be efficient: lymphopenia (10%;CI95%=0.25-44.5), fever with polyarthralgia-polyarthritis (7.41%;CI95% =0.91-24.3), behavioral alteration-confusion-encephalopathy (3.45%;95%CI=0.42-11.9) and fever of unknown origin (2.50%;95%CI=0.82-5.74). Conclusion. The determination of HIV serology in HES in the processes defined by DC SEMES-GESIDA is efficient. Some circumstances are identified that could be added to those previously contemplated to increase efficiency.

“…While much of the current literature on HIV testing in the emergency department is focused on either clinical prediction tools or 4th generation HIV testing, [20][21][22] we sought to assess clinical knowledge of both STIs and HIV in a survey study to explore clinical scenarios where HIV testing is either common or missed. The survey respondents in our study were a mix of attending physicians, resident physicians, and APPs, which reflects a similar distribution of providers in EDs across the nation.…”

Introduction This study examines the association of the domains of knowledge for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among emergency medicine providers (EP). Methods From February 2018 to March 2018, 75 EP (physicians, residents, and advanced practice providers) completed an anonymous, self-administered survey. The primary outcome of strength of correlation between HIV and STI sections of the survey was analyzed using Spearman’s rank-order coefficient. Results Respondents were physicians (54.6%), male (56%), Caucasian (83.7%), with eight years in practice (IQR: 2,16). Spearman’s correlation of HIV and STIs showed a weak positive correlation ( r = 0.35, p = 0.002). There was no association between HIV scores and provider type ( p = 0.67) or provider gender ( p = 0.89) as well as no association between STI scores and provider type ( p = 0.10) or provider gender ( p = 0.79). Conclusion The results of our study reveal that when presented with a patient at high risk for undiagnosed HIV or with undiagnosed symptomatic HIV infection, most providers either do not test or do not have HIV in the differential diagnosis. Similarly, knowledge of STIs is only weakly correlated with knowledge of HIV risk factors and symptomatic HIV infection. Further research and screening efforts may benefit by focusing on HIV education among emergency medicine providers.
