Two concurrent surveys were conducted in four California counties to compare the prenatal HIV counseling and voluntary testing (C&VT) experiences of women with the self-reported practices of prenatal care providers. Participants were 850 women currently or recently receiving prenatal care and 254 providers. Although 79.9 % of women reported being offered an HIV test during a prenatal visit, only 56.2 % said they were toid about the risks and benefits of taking an HIV rest. Almost all providers (98.4%) indicated they offer an HIV test, and 76.8% reported offering counseling, to every patient. One third of the women (65.9 %) knew that treatment exists for reducing the chance of prenatal transmission of HIV, and 78.7% of women said they were more likely to be tested given kncNledge of such therapy. Women may have underreported prenatal C&VT because providers spend insufficient time discussing related issues or because C&VT information is not presented in a way that is relevant to all patients.
