In 2006, the CDC released revised recommendations for HIV testing
that recommend routine screening of patients ages 13 to 64 in all
health care settings. AAHIVM conducted an extensive literature review
and along with informal interviews of various health care providers
throughout the country regarding their best practices on follow up
care.
The resulting document summarizes common elements of
successful follow-up care strategies and highlights approaches employed
by primary care clinicians in a variety of settings. AAHIVM presents
this tool for providers who want to screen for HIV more routinely, but
need ideas or strategies on how to help newly diagnosed HIV positive
individuals have access to the care they nee. Click here to download a PDF of the report of linkage-to-care best practices.
