- Authors
Haukoos, Jason S.; Thrun, Mark W.
- Abstract
The article suggests the elimination of prevention counselling to achieve better improvement in HIV screening. It discusses a paper published within the issue, which focused on a study on the efficacy of prevention counseling on the incidence of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV infection, among patients seeking care at sexually transmitted disease clinics. It cites the potential of HIV testing to shift from an applied diagnostic tool to a universal screening modality.
