摘要

Abstract Objective and background: Our objective was to examine HIV testing uptake among postmenopausal women. Many women are routinely tested for HIV during pregnancy. Disproportionate numbers of women beyond reproductive age are diagnosed HIV-positive late in the disease course. Some older women and healthcare providers have dismissed early AIDS symptoms as signs of aging. This has resulted in missed opportunities for early initiation of effective antiretroviral therapy. Methods: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2008 data were analyzed for non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black women (50-64 years) from six deep south states. Logistic regression models examined associations between uptake of HIV testing and population/behavioral characteristics. Results: More than half of our sample (1091 of 2027) had an HIV test during their postreproductive years (>45 years old). Women 50-54 years old were about 40% as likely to have been tested for HIV during their postreproductive years as those 60-64 years old (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.45-0.84). Population characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, family poverty status, and urbanization, as well as HIV exposure risk, were all potential confounders of this relationship. Conclusions: Routine HIV testing is underused among women during their postreproductive years. HIV prevention messages that target midlife women are needed to reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and disproportionate burden of late diagnosed HIV infection in this population.
