Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is common among people living with HIV (PLWH). Keywords: generalised anxiety disorder sensitivity specificity receiver operating curve analysis HIV Western Cape South Africa. Within resource-constrained communities in South Africa, referral trajectories should be integrated with routine screening and HIV testing Thus, in a public health setting, persons screening positive on the BAI should receive a diagnostic interview to determine whether they are true cases for GAD. A two-tiered method may be useful to mitigate against case over-identification. The positive predictive value was 13%, while the negative predictive value was 99%ĬONCLUSION: Our data suggest that while the BAI may be used to screen for GAD, it is likely to yield a high number of false positives. Using an optimal cut-off point of 21.5, the sensitivity and specificity of the BAI were 82% and 80%, respectively. RESULTS: 3.4% of the sample met the DSM-5 criteria for a diagnosis of GAD. We used receiver operating curve analysis to determine the optimal cut-off point on the BAI to discriminate between GAD caseness and non-caseness METHOD: We recruited 500 persons seeking HIV testing from five non-medical testing sites in the Western Cape, South Africa.
