Impact of birth HIV PCR testing on uptake of follow-up EID services for HIV-exposed infants in Cape Town Lorna Dunning1, Max Kroon2, Lezanne Fourie2, Andrea Ciaranello3, Landon Myer1 1Division of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, School of Public Health and Family Medicine, University of Cape Town, South Africa 2Department of Neonatal Medicine, University of Cape Town, South Africa 3 Division of Infectious Disease, Medical Practice Evaluation Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA Pediatric HIV Workshop 2016

Background – Early Infant Diagnosis WHO recommends all HIV-exposed infants should be tested by six weeks of age Virological tests Detect in utero, intra-partum and very early post-partum infections* 94% of HIV-exposed infants have access to a virologic test in South Africa1 * Debate around effect of infant prophylaxis on the sensitivity of the assay at 6 weeks 1 World Health Organization. Progress report on the global plan towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children and keeping their mothers alive. Geneva, Switzerland2015

Background – 6 week EID Cascade Infant born HIV- exposed 6 weeks- Offer HIV testing Specimen Processing Result Return HIV-infected Infant Link to care - ART HIV-uninfected Exposed Infant Repeat testing after weening Peak age of mortality 11 weeks for HIV-infected infants
Slide 4-

Background – Birth Testing Improved PMTCT coverage Increased proportion of in utero infections relative to intrapartum and early post partum More infected infants detectable at birth Benefits earlier treatment Limit disease progression Lower viral reservoirs Increase survival1 1 Francke et al.

Objectives To compare the attendance at follow-up EID testing by receipt of an HIV PCR test at birth - Does receipt of a negative birth test impact uptake of 6 weeks testing? Examine yield of targeted birth testing in this setting

Site Characteristics Secondary level - Obstetric Hospital Women referred from primary care 13% of newborn HIV-exposed Cohort Characteristics July 2013 – August 2015 All mothers eligible for Option B+ HIV PCR test at birth – Infants high risk for perinatal transmission Birth tests occurred within 48hrs of delivery: result return prior to discharge All HIV exposed infants tested at 6 weeks, or screened if presenting to hospital with OI Methods – Site and Cohort Characteristics
Slide 8-

Methods – Study Sample HIV-exposed  High Risk (576) HIV PCR test at Birth Equivocal (3) HIV+ (22) HIV-exposed (551) HIV-exposed (551) HIV-exposed  Low risk Mode of Delivery & Date of Birth HIV PCR test 6 weeks + ? ?
Slide 9-

Results of HIV PCR tests were determined from NHLS database Non-attendance at follow up testing: no subsequent HIV PCR test recorded since birth test or no recorded HIV PCR test Linkage to care: Infect infant specimen sent to laboratory for processing Participant demographic characteristics Mean/median, frequency Logistic regression models OR with 95% confidence intervals Analysis

Results – Subgroup analyses 10 Adjusted Odds Ratio Restricted analyses showing effect size in multiple subpopulations: Association between non-attendance at follow-up EID testing for infants who received a birth test compared to those that did not 1 0.1 All LBW Norm Mother BW <24yrs Pre- term Full term Mother Black Other >24yrs African
Slide 17-

Limitations Results reflect a single urban setting within South Africa. All participants delivered at an obstetric hospital Generalizations should be made with caution Social and demographic variables would provide greater insight into predictors for non-attendance Risk factors used to identify infants as high risk at delivery could also be predictors for non-attendance
Slide 18-

Conclusions Targeted birth testing successfully identified mothers at high risk for transmission to their infants Neonates undergoing HIV testing at birth appear less likely to receive subsequent EID testing compared to infants who did not receive a birth test. More emphasis on negative results How does universal birth testing affect these results?
