Screening Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) The HIV test is offered and recommended to all pregnant women because HIV virus can be passed on to baby during, pregnancy and during birth or by breastfeeding.
Screening Is HIV included in newborn screening? During the newborn screening test, baby's dried blood spot was checked for HIV antibodies, which are proteins the body makes when it is exposed to an infection. If HIV antibodies are present, this means that the mother has HIV/AIDS and that the baby has been exposed to HIV.
Overall Screening goals (1) identification of potential HIV infection in the neonate in order to provide early therapeutic intervention and more aggressive medical management (2) modification of routine pediatric immunization practices, (3) prevention of horizontal HIV transmission (from infant to caretaker or medical provider), (4) enhancement of epidemiological research, including surveillance and natural history studies, and (5) identification of maternal infection.
