2006年9月，疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）建议对所有13-64岁的美国人进行常规艾滋病毒检测，这将取消以前要求的书面同意和测试前咨询的要求。然而，这种方法可能会与国家要求有关的预测试咨询和艾滋病毒检测的知情同意冲突。我们对州艾滋病毒检测法的调查表明，大多数州的艾滋病毒检测要求与CDC的建议不一致。此外，最近修改法律的州并没有放松对测试前咨询和知情同意的要求。必须了解这些法律的要求持续存在的原因，以便改变政策，增加艾滋病毒检测。
In September 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended routine HIV testing for all Americans aged 13-64, which would eliminate requirements for written consent and pretest counseling as previously required. However, this approach may conflict with state requirements concerning pretest counseling and informed consent for HIV testing. Our survey of state HIV testing laws demonstrates that the majority of states have HIV testing requirements that are inconsistent with the CDC's recommendations. Moreover, states that have recently amended their laws have not eased the requirements for pretest counseling and informed consent. The reasons for the persistence of these legal requirements must be understood to effect policy changes to increase HIV testing.
