Abstract

OBJECTIVES: We evaluated HIV testing and service delivery in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-funded sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. METHODS: We assessed HIV testing, HIV positivity, receipt of HIV test results, linkage to medical care, and referral services from 61 health department jurisdictions from 2011 to 2013. RESULTS: In 2013, 18.6% (621 010) of all CDC-funded HIV-testing events were conducted in STD clinics, and 0.8% were newly identified as HIV-positive. In addition, 27.3% of all newly identified HIV-positive persons and 30.1% of all newly identified HIV-positive men who have sex with men were identified in STD clinics. Linkage to care within any time frame was 63.8%, and linkage within 90 days was 55.3%. Although there was a decrease in first-time HIV testers in STD clinics from 2011 to 2013, identification of new positives increased. CONCLUSIONS: Although linkage to care and referral to partner services could be improved, STD clinics appear successful at serving populations disproportionately affected by HIV. These clinics may reach persons who may not otherwise seek HIV testing or medical services and provide an avenue for service provision to these populations.

  • STD clinics perform only approximately 20% of all federally funded HIV tests nationally but identify approximately 30% of all new infections.

    “STD clinics perform only approximately 20% of all federally funded HIV tests nationally but identify approximately 30% of all new infections (414).”

    From Sexually Transmitted Infections Treatment Guidelines, 2021 (2021) · cites this paper as [414]

    The Results and Discussion report that STD clinics conducted 18.6% of CDC-funded HIV tests and identified 27.3% of newly identified HIV-positive persons from those tests in 2013. The claim omits that the approximately 30% figure applies to CDC-funded testing, not all new infections nationally; the Discussion estimates that STD clinics accounted for about 1 in 10 new US case reports.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
