Pregnant women
- At first prenatal visit[5]
- Retest at early third trimester and delivery if high risk[2]
Men who have sex with men
- Annually for sexually active men who have sex with men[5]
- Every 3 to 6 months if increased risk
Women who have sex with women
- Routine screening is recommended[1]
HIV positive individuals
- At first HIV evaluation for sexually active individuals[5][6]
