Routine HIV Testing Recommended for Teens and Older

One-fourth of the approximately 1 million U.S. residents living with Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV) are unaware that they are infected. This prevents these 250,000 individuals from receiving treatment that can improve their health and extend their lives—treatment that is more effective when begun earlier in the course of the disease. Approximately 40 percent of people with HIV are diagnosed at an advanced stage.

"This is a major public health problem," says Emery Chang, M.D., a physician at the UCLA Center for Clinical AIDS Research and Education (UCLA CARE Center). "We have been missing people who should be diagnosed earlier, both for their own health and because knowing their HIV-positive status would make them more likely to reduce risky behaviors." Estimates suggest that half of new HIV infections in the U.S. are transmitted by people who have not been diagnosed.
