Vital Signs: HIV Testing and Diagnosis Among Adults — United States, 2001–2009
HIV testing and linkage to care are essential to identify persons early in their course of infection to prevent progression to AIDS and death and to reduce transmission. CDC used 2001–2009 data from the National Health Interview Survey to estimate percentages of persons aged 18–64 years who reported ever being tested for HIV in the United States. The results of that analysis indicate that the number of persons in the United States who report ever being tested for HIV is increasing, and fewer persons are being diagnosed late in their infection. However, nearly one third of diagnoses still occur late. Increased testing efforts are needed, particularly among populations that account for most HIV diagnoses.
