Strategy 1: Incorporate HIV Testing as a Routine
Part of Care
In Traditional Medical Settings
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.
