Summary
Late diagnosis of HIV infection is believed to be responsible for high rates of HIV transmission. The purpose of this study is to determine whether targeted screening versus routine screening will identify a greater number of HIV infected participants. This study will also compare the costs of the resources used for targeted screening versus routine screening.
