CDC will issue recommendations strongly encouraging all health care providers to include HIV testing, when indicated, as part of routine medical care, like other routine medical tests by:

• Promoting removal of real and perceived barriers to routine testing, including “de-coupling” HIV tests in the medical setting from extensive, pre-test prevention counseling. In some jurisdictions, statutory requirements, e.g. for pretest counseling, can serve as barriers to testing.
• Working with professional medical associations and others to promote adoption of the recommendations. CDC will work with public and private payors to promote appropriate reimbursement incentives.
