National HIV Prevention Inventory: Module 1 - Testing Survey Report

This report is an update to the 2009 The National HIV Prevention Inventory: The State of HIV Prevention Across the U.S. (NHPI), which was based on a survey of 65 state, territorial, and local health departments. This update surveyed 67 CDC-funded state, territorial and directly-funded cities in May 2012. This report highlights major topic ares addressed by the survey including description of HIV testing services implemented by health department supported HIV testing providers; integration of HIV testing with testing for HCV and STDs; reimbursement practices; and referral and linkage to medical care for HIV-positive clients. The report is part of a series of the 2012-2014 NHPI project aimed to comprehensively describe HIV prevention programs administered by state and local health departments across the U.S. and U.S. territories under the CDC’s High Impact Prevention approach. The project was completed via three survey modules and corresponding reports, providing an in-depth look into key areas of HIV prevention programs: HIV testing, HIV funding and resource allocation and HIV prevention program activities.
