HIV Testing in Pregnancy 
The evolution and management of HIV disease has changed over the years, as has public perception, to

screening be included as a routine test, particularly during pregnancy. Therefore, Rhode Island has
revised its laws and regulations to consider HIV testing as a routine test. En Español
