Title: HIV counseling and testing: less targeting, more testing.
Authors: Koo DJ (AUTHOR), Begier EM (AUTHOR), Henn MH (AUTHOR), Sepkowitz KA (AUTHOR), Kellerman SE (AUTHOR)
Source: American Journal of Public Health. Jun2006, Vol. 96 Issue 6, p962-964. 3p.
Subjects: HIV infections, Counseling, Diagnosis, Unsafe sex, Condom use
Geographic Terms: New York (N.Y.), New York (State)
Abstract: The article comments on the importance of HIV counseling and testing. Each year, more than 1000 New York City residents are diagnosed with concurrent HIV and AIDS, and nationally 40% of new diagnoses are concurrent. A meta-analysis of 27 studies examining the effects of HIV counseling and testing on sexual risk behavior found that, following a counseling and testing event, persons who are HIV-positive and couples that are serodiscordant reduced unprotected intercourse and increased condom use more than did HIV-negative and untested participants.
