Teste anti-HIV na perspectiva das políticas públicas: proposta e realidade

Abstract

This integrative review study, conducted in Rio de Janeiro, examined the healthcare-related scientific production regarding implementation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) testing in the context of public health policies. Of the four articles selected in this study, only one discussed HIV testing from the public policy perspective. The remaining articles addressed HIV testing in primary care without, however, mentioning policy guidelines. This shows that, although there are public policies providing for health care actions in relation to HIV testing, not only are they not being discussed, they are not implemented in health services.
