Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the OraQuick Rapid HIV-1 Antibody Test. Four hospitals rapidly tested 380 women at labor and delivery. A comparison of turnaround times showed that the median turnaround time at point-of-care hospitals was 45 min compared with over 3.5 h at the laboratory hospital (P< 0.0001). Point-of-care testing was feasible and accurate, permitting undiagnosed HIV- infected pregnant women to learn their HIV status quickly, and access intrapartum antiretroviral therapy to reduce vertical transmission.
