HIV 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

HIV/AIDS activities for CDC, discusses

HIV testing in community settings.

The objectives of these recommendations
are to increase HIV screening of
patients, including pregnant women, in
health-care settings; foster earlier
detection of HIV infection; identify and
counsel persons with unrecognized HIV
infection and link them to clinical and
prevention services; and further reduce
perinatal transmission of HIV in the
United States.
