Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released new recommendations that urge doctors to include HIV testing as part of their patients' regular health care. The aim of the CDC's new recommendations is to help increase early HIV diagnosis among people who are unaware they are infected, and make it easier to conduct HIV screening in health care settings, like doctor's offices and emergency rooms. This podcast presents an interview with Dr. Bernard M. Branson, author of the revised recommendations.
