Abstract
What is already known about this topic?: Research evidence is insufficient to suggest whether routine human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening in healthcare settings is effective in promoting greater awareness of HIV-positive status.
What is added by this report?: This study found that, following the implementation of routine HIV screening in hospitals in Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province, there was a significant increase in the number of HIV screenings, positive results, and the positive rate of HIV screening in primary-level hospitals.
What are the implications for public health practice?: Routine hospital-based HIV screening is effective in identifying HIV infections in areas with concentrated epidemics.
