IN THE UNITED STATES, an estimated 1 million people are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and onequarter are unaware of their infection. 1 Rates of new infections have increased among young persons with nearly half of all new HIV infections in the US occurring in black adolescents and young adults aged 13 to 24. 1–4Despite evidence that early diagnosis may have potential advantages in promoting prevention, 5–8 improving immune restoration, and linking HIV-infected persons with care9 HIV testing has been a controversial and difficult area to define and produce relevant guidelines. In 2001, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention10 (CDC) recommended universal HIV testing for all persons who (a) live in communities with an HIV prevalence 1%;(b) have known risk factors for HIV infection; and (c) request HIV testing. In September 2006, the guidelines for health care settings were modified to recommend that all persons aged 13 to 64 years be tested for HIV. 11
