Researchers predict
premarital AIDS tests
would be unfeasible
CHICAGO (AP) — Mandatory
AIDS tests for couples wishing to
marry, a measure already en
dorsed by three states, would be
an ineffective, inefficient and
costly way to combat the deadly
disease, researchers say.
“The general belief is premari
tal screening is inexpensive,
unobtrusive and that it will have a
large impact on the spread of the
virus,” said Paul Cleary, a re
searcher with the Harvard School
of Public Health. “That’s just not
so.
“AIDS screening is seen by too
many people as a quick fix, and
may in fact be a harmful distrac
tion from the more difficult task
of developing a comprehensive
policy to deal with the problem.”
Cleary is one of six authors who
performed a cost-benefit analysis
of premarital screening.
The group reported its find
ings in Friday’s Journal of the
American Medical Association.
The researchers estimate 3.8
million people nationwide plan to
marry each year, and the poten
tial cost for screening, testing and
counseling of them would exceed
$100 million annually.
Illinois, Louisiana and Texas
have enacted measures calling for
some form of premarital testing
by next year, and researchers
noted that as of July 31, 79 bills
on the subject had been intro
duced in 35 states.
But the researchers concluded
that people planning marriage al
ready have been shown to be a
low-risk population for AIDS and
that premarital screening would
detect fewer than 0.1 percent of
people infected with the human
immunodeficiency virus, or HIV,
a precursor to AIDS in a still-un
determined percentage.
AIDS (acquired immune defi
ciency syndrome) is spread most
often through sexual contact,
needles or syringes shared by
drug abusers, infected blood or
blood products and from preg
nant women to their offspring.
Homosexual and bisexual men
and intravenous drug abusers
have been hardest hit by the dis
ease that has killed at least 24,400
people in this country. The re
searchers also estimated that
while as many as 9,000 of the 3.8
million people screened would
test positive on a screening test,
only 1,200 people would show up
positive on a second, confirma
tory test.
“And even with a series of tests,
there will still be a substantial
number of errors,” Cleary said in
a telephone interview. “That may
be acceptable, given the goal —
stopping the spread of AIDS.
“But its impact on the spread
of the disease is uncertain and
these errors (false-positive re
sults) can prove very harmful.
“Even so, it should be em
phasized that this particular anal
ysis doesn’t argue against testing
other populations. We simply
suggest they analyze a number of
factors before going ahead.”
