Abstract

Background

Universal antenatal HIV screening programmes are an effective method of preventing mother-to-child transmission.

Aims

To assess the coverage and yield of the French programme on a nationally representative sample of pregnant women, and predictive factors for being unscreened or missing information on the performance/ result of a HIV test.

Methods

Data came from the medical records of women included in the cross-sectional 2016 French National Perinatal Survey. We calculated odds ratios (OR) to identify factors for being unscreened for HIV and for missing information by multivariable analyses.

Results

Of 13,210 women, 12,782 (96.8%) were screened for HIV and 134 (1.0%) were not; information was missing for 294 (2.2%). HIV infection was newly diagnosed in 19/12,769 (0.15%) women screened. The OR for being unscreened was significantly higher in women in legally registered partnerships (OR: 1.3; 95% CI: 1.1–1.6), with 1–2 years of post-secondary schooling (OR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2–2.1), part-time employment (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1–1.8), inadequate antenatal care (OR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.5–2.4) and receiving care from > 1 provider (OR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.1–2.8). The OR of missing information was higher in multiparous women (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2–1.5) and women cared for by general practitioners (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1–1.9).

Conclusions

The French antenatal HIV screening programme is effective in detecting HIV among pregnant women. However, a few women are still not screened and awareness of the factors that predict this could contribute to improved screening levels.
