AB Despite the increasing advantages of identifying HIV infection in
pregnant women, only some 12% of HIV positive women attending antenatal
clinics in London have been identified by named testing. As virtually
all antenatal care will be community based within the next two to three
years, we assessed the problems of introducing named HIV testing during
pregnancy into the primary care setting. Planning the service took a
considerable time and required the production of educational material
for both staff and pregnant women and some reorganisation of procedures.
Over a one year period an uptake of 44% was noted. Several problems were
encountered including an average of 21 minutes needed to give
information on AIDS and HIV, an adverse effect on the midwife-mother
relationship, and anxiety (affecting both women and midwives). Possible
solutions to this difficult problem are discussed.
