Abstract

Invasive cervical carcinoma is associated with a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence of >0.1%, and screening is recommended and cost-effective for cancer populations exceeding this threshold. HIV status is also prognostic for cancer-specific survival, but compliance with HIV screening is poor in the USA and abroad. This study aims to describe HIV screening practices in a US comprehensive cancer center. To guide quality improvement, we identify characteristics which may predict compliance with screening. Women treated for invasive cervical cancer from January 2007 to December 2017 were identified by local cancer registry and billing data. We assessed age, race, ethnicity, insurance status, histology, stage, pregnancy, drug use, and HIV testing status. Univariate logistical regression was performed to assess predictors of completed HIV screening. Of 492 eligible women, the cumulative screening rate was 7.6%. Race, ethnicity, histology, and funding source were not predictive of screening. Every 5 year increase in age was associated with a lower chance of screening (OR 0.86, p=0.015), as was earlier stage at diagnosis (OR 0.43, p=0.017). Pregnancy during, or antecedent to, invasive cervical cancer diagnosis was significan...Continue Reading
