Testing
- HIV Testing: It Helps to Know
About one fourth of the one million U.S.
residents currently living with HIV are
unaware of their HIV infection. A
recently published study which looked at
routinely offering rapid HIV testing to
persons seeking care in hospital
emergency departments concluded that all
health care facilities (i.e., emergency
departments, primary care clinics,
community clinics, hospitals in-patient
facilities, and urgent care clinics)
should offer HIV testing services to
patients.
- Rapid HIV Testing
