HIV Indicator Conditions - Guidance for Implementing HIV Testing in Adults in Health Care Settings
The HIV in Europe initiative has released its Guidance document. The objectives of the guidance are to:
• Encourage and support the inclusion of indicator condition-guided HIV testing in national HIV testing strategies, taking into account the local HIV prevalence, ongoing testing programmes and the local healthcare setting;
• Recommend approaches and practical tools for education and training of healthcare professionals on overcoming barriers to recommending an HIV test.
