Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HIV testing should not be avoided in persons with no risk factors and no symptoms, as there are cases where individuals who perceive themselves to have no risk factors have been diagnosed with HIV. However, routine HIV screening is not recommended for all individuals and should be based on individual risk factors. A negative HIV test does not ensure absence of infection and the false-positive rate for HIV testing is not zero. Consent is required before HIV testing.
