Report on Findings from an Assessment of Health Department Efforts to Implement HIV Testing in Health Care Settings

This report, based on a survey conducted in February 2010, highlights the legal environment for HIV testing, implementing HIV testing in health care settings, reimbursement, and barriers to HIV testing and evaluation. The survey findings provide an update to national data collected in 2007 on health department efforts to implement and support HIV testing in health care settings, identify priority areas for technical assistance, guide education and advocacy efforts, identify strategies for health departments to further support implementation of HIV screening efforts, contribute to the development of guidelines for multi-test rapid HIV test algorithms, and assess trends over time.
