 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates there are more than 250,000 HIV-positive Americans who are unaware of their infection. The CDC has npw published new recommendations for healthcare providers designed to make voluntary HIV screening a routine part of medical care for all patients aged 13 to 64.
The recommendations also include new measures to improve diagnosis among pregnant women and further reduce mother-to-child HIV transmission.
The new CDC guidelines are the first step to removing barriers to testing. Until now, testing for HIV has been treated differently than for any other disease, requiring a separate written consent form and extensive counseling on the test, its implications, and HIV risk behavior. The new guidelines suggest that these steps will no longer be required in clinical settings.
The CDC publication, "Revised Recommendations for HIV Testing of Adults, Adolescents, and Pregnant Women in Healthcare Settings", was published in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR).
