目的：评价急诊科（EM）和内科（IM）住院医师和主治医师对HIV的认识和态度。方法：对辛辛那提学术健康中心的IM和EM医生进行电子匿名41题调查。结果：232名医生（71.6%）完成了调查。与IM居民相比，EM居民更有可能定期提供HIV检测（60.7%对27.8%，P = 0.0009）。总体而言，按性别（32%对35.6%）或按居民与主治医生（33.8%对33.3%）提供艾滋病毒检测没有差异。只有70名医生（30.9%）知道目前CDC的建议，艾滋病毒筛查与主治医生更有知识比居民（41.7%比26%，P = 0.017）。结论：EM和IM居民和主治医生未能提供艾滋病毒检测或评估艾滋病毒传播的危险因素与足够的频率。对目前CDC建议的了解也存在差距。
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of residents and attendings in emergency medicine (EM) and internal medicine (IM) about HIV.METHODS: An electronic anonymous 41-question survey of IM and EM physicians at the University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center.RESULTS: The survey was completed by 232 physicians (71.6%). EM residents were more likely to routinely offer HIV testing compared to IM residents (60.7% vs. 27.8%, P = 0.0009). Overall, there was no difference in offering HIV testing by sex (32% vs. 35.6%) or by residents versus attendings (33.8% vs. 33.3%). Only 70 physicians (30.9%) were aware of current CDC recommendations of HIV screening with attendings more knowledgeable than residents (41.7% vs. 26%, P = 0.017).CONCLUSION: EM and IM residents and attendings fail to offer HIV testing or assess for HIV transmission risk factors with sufficient frequency. There is also a gap in knowledge of the current CDC recommendations.
