HIV screening
- According to the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force, clinicians should screen for HIV in:
- Adolescents and adults ages 15 to 65
- Pregnant Persons
- Center of Disease Control (CDC) recommendations for HIV screening:
- People between the ages of 13 and 64 should get tested for HIV at least once.
- Those with risk factors for HIV are recommended to be screened more frequently. The CDC suggests that people with risk factors should be tested at least once a year.
- Asymptomatic sexually active men who have sex with men (MSM) should be screened once a year. The benefits of more frequent screening ( once every 3 or 6 months) for MSM at increased risk for HIV infection should be considered.
