The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 was compared to 2019, followed by the impact of an institutional intervention aimed at increasing the rate of HIV screening requests.\u00a0\r\nResults: A total of 995 subjects were included. HIV screening was requested for 47.4% (n=472) of them, with a positivity rate of 1.7% (n=8). In 2020, HIV screening decreased compared to 2019 (34% vs. 43.9%, p&lt;0.001), and increased to 84.2% in 2022 (p&lt;0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the odds of HIV screening decreased with age (OR 0.986), while hospital admission in 2019 and 2022 (OR 1.48 y 9.76, respectively) increased it.\u00a0\r\nDiscussion: The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the already low rate of HIV screening requests, which was also influenced by the age of the subjects. However, through institutional guidelines, this situation was successfully reversed in 2022.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31053\/1853.0605.v82.n2.46015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]],"date-time":"2025-06-26T16:17:16Z","timestamp":1750954636000},"page":"237-252","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Variabilidad en el tamizaje de la infecci\u00f3n por el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana","Variability in Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection screening","Variabilidade no rastreio da infe\u00e7\u00e3o pelo V\u00edrus da Imunodefici\u00eancia Humana"],"prefix":"10.31053","volume":"82","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0112-8455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maximiliano Gabriel","family":"Castro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1256-4754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"Sadonio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5762-1812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Ver\u00f3nica","family":"Willa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-7330-2639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micaela","family":"Capeletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4695-1833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Paula","family":"Amato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1354-9869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guillermina","family":"Cravero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2632-2735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melina","family":"Beloso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8263-3802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Federico Rafael","family":"Galluccio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"12333","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","unstructured":"1.
