Repeat Third Trimester HIV Screening Resources

Public Act 100-0265 was signed into law on August 22, 2017. It amended the Perinatal HIV Prevention Act to mandate a repeat opt-out HIV test during the third trimester, ideally by the 36th week of pregnancy, for all pregnant people in Illinois. On October 2, 2017, the Illinois Department of Public Health issued a memo outlining the new testing and reporting requirements. Implementation of this Act was expected by January 1, 2018. Below are training and educational resources that have been developed to support implementation of these new requirements.
