This guideline was developed by the New York State (NYS) Department of Health (DOH) AIDS Institute (AI) to provide evidence-based recommendations regarding HIV testing during pregnancy and at delivery and to promote universal HIV screening for all pregnant patients to achieve the following: Ensure universal HIV screening early in pregnancy, during the third trimester, and during labor for individuals who do not have a documented negative HIV status. Encourage third-trimester testing for syphilis and HIV testing. Encourage HIV testing for pregnant and postpartum patients who exhibit symptoms of acute HIV. Increase uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis among pregnant patients who do not test positive for HIV but who are at high risk of HIV acquisition during pregnancy and postpartum
