Description

The American College of Physicians recommends that doctors routinely encourage HIV screening to all of their patients older than 13 years. HIV affects more than one million people in the United States. Every year, about 20,000 new infections are caused by individuals who are unaware that they are infected with HIV. Timely identification of undiagnosed cases of HIV can help prevent further transmission.
