• Description:
  Publicly funded counseling and HIV antibody testing services (i.e., services provided by state and local health departments with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] funding) were initiated in March 1985 to provide an alternative to blood donation as a means for high-risk persons to determine their HIV status. Counseling was considered essential to address the accuracy and consequences of the test and was designed to help persons interpret the meaning of positive or negative antibody test results. HIV tests funded by CDC are routinely offered with pre- and posttest counseling. In 1987, emphasis was placed on risk-reduction counseling (CDC, 1987; Rugg, MacGowan, Stark, & Swanson, 1991). Since then, standards and guidelines for counseling, testing, and referral have been revised to promote a client-centered model (CDC, 1994). These services became an integral part of HIV prevention programs, and the HIV Counseling and Testing System was developed to monitor them. The figures and tables in this report are based on data sent to CDC through June 30, 1996. Tables 1-7 include data collected from January through December 1995. The record format for each reporting area is indicated in Table 6.
