Changes inHIV Testing Practicesand Counseling Recommendations FDA Blood Products Advisory Committee Meeting November 3, 2005 Bernard M. Branson, M.D. Associate Director for Laboratory Diagnostics Divisions of HIV/AIDS Prevention National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Outline • Role of rapid HIV tests in the HHS “Advancing HIV Prevention” Initiative • Postmarketing surveillance: rapid HIV tests and home sample collection HIV tests • CDC’s planned revisions of counseling recommendations • Anticipated value of an OTC vs CLIA-waived test • Validating HIV tests for home use
Advancing HIV Prevention Four priority strategies: • Make voluntary HIV testing a routine part of medical care • Implement new models for diagnosing HIV infections outside medical settings • Prevent new infections by working with persons diagnosed with HIV and their partners • Further decrease perinatal HIV transmission MMWR April 18, 2003
Awareness of HIV status among Persons with HIV, United States Number HIV infected1,039,000 – 1,185,000 Number unaware of their HIV infection 252,000 - 312,000 Estimated number of 40,000 new infections annually Glynn et al 2005 HIV Prevention Conference
Role for Rapid HIV Tests • Increase receipt of test results: • In 2000, 31% did not return for results of HIV-positive conventional tests at publicly funded sites • Increase feasibility of testing in acute-care settings with same-day results • Increase number of venues where testing can be offered to high-risk persons • Increase identification of HIV-infected pregnant women so they can receive effective prophylaxis
Rapid HIV Screening in Acute Care Settings Cook County ED, Chicago 2.3% Grady ED, Atlanta 2.7% Johns Hopkins ED, Baltimore 3.2% King-Drew Med Center, Los Angeles 1.3% CDC HIV testing sites: 1.1% Study site New HIV+
Rapid HIV Screening in Medical Settings CDC, preliminary data - Sept 2005
Rapid HIV Testing in Non-Clinical Settings CDC, preliminary data - Sept 2005
HIV Screening with OraQuick in MIRIADMother Infant Rapid Intervention At Delivery Testing of pregnant women in labor for whom no HIV test results are available; 12 hospitals in 5 cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, New York 7680 women screened • 54 (0.7%) new HIV infections identified • 6 false positive OraQuick tests, no false negatives • 15 false-positive EIAs: 7 p24 only, 8 WB negative Specificity: OraQuick 99.92%; EIA 99.80% Positive predictive value: OraQuick 90%; EIA 76% Bulterys et al, JAMA July 2004
Performance of OraQuick Rapid HIV Test 4 studies comparing OraQuick with whole blood and oral fluid to EIA/Western blot: • Known HIV+ persons – Los Angeles • Prospective testing, HIV testing clinic and STD clinics – Los Angeles, Phoenix • Pregnant women – 5 MIRIAD cities • Outreach settings – Minneapolis
Performance of OraQuick: Known HIV+ Sensitivity
Performance of OraQuick: Prospective Testing Combined study population: 327 HIV-positive by reference tests 12,010 HIV-negative by reference tests
Postmarketing Surveillance: 2003 • 20,585 rapid whole blood HIV tests • 392 (1.9%) confirmed HIV-positive • 21 (5.4%) reactive OraQuick had negative or indeterminate confirmatory test results • 10 resolved as true positive on follow-up • 4 resolved as false-positive on follow-up • 7 with unsuccessful follow-up
Postmarketing Surveillance: 2004-2005 Project-specific median (range) for confirmed HIV seropositivity, specificity and positive predictive value of OraQuick (347 testing sites, 14 project areas) CDC, preliminary data - Oct 2005
Postmarketing Surveillance: 2004-2005 Project-specific median (range) of clients who received test results (347 testing sites in 14 project areas) CDC, preliminary data - Oct 2005
Postmarketing Surveillance: 2004-2005 • Quality assurance outcomes, 154 sites, 7 project areas January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005 • 35,188 persons tested • 4 (0.01%) invalid test results • 1,086 controls run • median 2.7% (range 0.5% - 9.7%) of all tests • 2 controls reported as “invalid” • 2 sites each reported testing clients on one day when temperature was out of range • 1 site reported one day when tests kits were stored outside recommended temperature range CDC, preliminary data - Oct 2005
User characteristics, May 1996 – September 1997 Postmarketing Surveillance: Home Sample Collection HIV Testing Data available for 76,373 (59%) of 165,194 users -JAMA 1998
Postmarketing Surveillance: Home Sample Collection HIV Testing • 58% of all users and 49% of users who tested HIV positive had never been tested before. • HIV prevalence: • 0.8% among those with no previous test • 0.7% among those with previous negative test -JAMA 1998
Postmarketing Surveillance: Home Sample Collection HIV Testing Analysis of counselors “call log” and telephone results • HIV-positive users: • 23% had a source of follow-up care • 65% accepted referrals for care • 12% were already receiving antiretroviral therapy • Psychological distress: • 7% expressed shock at unexpected positive result • 5% hung up immediately, without counseling • HIV-negative users: • 82% received recorded message only • 29% called more than once • 12% elected to speak with a counselor -JAMA 1998
HIV Testing, Persons Age 18-64, 2002 (Excluding Blood Donation) NHIS: National Health Interview Survey BRFSS: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System - MMWR December 3, 2004
HIV Testing, Persons Age 18-64, 2002 Source of Most Recent Test National Health Interview Survey - MMWR December 3, 2004
Changes in Testing and Counseling Recommendations • Routine HIV screening in health care settings in high prevalence communities or facilities • Opt-out consent for pregnant women, with written or verbal notification that testing will be done • Written or verbal information about HIV • Prevention counseling in conjunction with HIV testing not required in health care settings • Retesting at least annually for persons at high risk • Ensure linkage to care for persons who test positive
Rationale for Proposed Changes • High levels of knowledge about HIV, availability of effective treatment, experience with HIV testing • Many HIV-infected persons access health care but are not tested for HIV until symptomatic • Inconclusive evidence about prevention benefits from typical counseling for persons who test negative • Substantial reductions in high-risk sexual behavior among persons aware of HIV infection • 68% reduction in unprotected intercourse with partners not known to be HIV-positive • Prevention counseling encouraged for high risk persons but does not have to occur in context of HIV testing
Potential Value of OTC vs CLIA-Waived Test • Persons unwilling to be tested in other settings • Persons who retest frequently • Knowledge of partner’s status as a prevention intervention • Local requirements for laboratories beyond CLIA requirements that impede HIV testing
Potential Validation Studies • Observed self-testing at high risk venues • Counselor provides client with “OTC” device • Observes specimen collection and testing • Documents client reaction to test result • Verifies client interpretation of test result • Select 2 to 3 settings serving clients with different characteristics • Minimum 500 clients in setting with HIV prevalence of 3% to 5%
