| Summary: | This guideline was developed by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) AIDS Institute (AI) Clinical Guidelines Program to accomplish the following goals: Provide clinicians in NYS with up-to-date information on HIV testing policies and practices. Ensure awareness of and access to the standard 3-step HIV testing algorithm recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the NYSDOH AI. Increase HIV testing in NYS to increase the number of people who know their HIV status. Ensure that clinicians recognize and respond to HIV testing as a gateway to care, such that an HIV diagnosis prompts a referral for HIV treatment and a negative HIV test result prompts a referral for HIV prevention services, including pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP). Emphasize that rapid antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation is the standard of care for all individuals diagnosed with HIV. |
