Providers calling into our CEI hotline often ask me what to do when their patient's HIV test results are unclear. These ambiguous or discordant test results can be a source of anxiety and confusion for both patients and healthcare providers alike.
To provide additional insight into this complex issue, Dr. Tony Urbina, Professor of Medicine from Mt. Sinai Health System and Medical Director of the New York State CEI HIV Primary Care and Prevention Center of Excellence, speaks with Dr. Lucia Torian, a distinguished epidemiologist who has dedicated over three decades of her career to the New York City Department of Health. As the Deputy Director of the HIV Epidemiology Program, she brings a wealth of expertise in HIV diagnostic testing and case surveillance.
In our conversation, we dive into real-world scenarios that illustrate the challenges of interpreting HIV test results. We explore real-world cases involving early exposure, false positives, and the added complications of testing migrant populations. The discussion includes practical advice on managing patient anxiety, effective communication strategies, and navigating ambiguous results. Listeners will gain insights into testing acute infections, how to handle PrEP ambiguity, and the role of advanced diagnostic techniques like Western blot tests. Additionally, Dr. Torian shares her thoughts on whether ambiguous results are becoming more prevalent in NYC and provides recommendations for follow-up procedures and timing. Tune in for a comprehensive look at improving HIV testing accuracy and patient care. Related Content:
