• Description:
  CDC's new recommendations for HIV testing in laboratories capitalize on the latest available technologies to help diagnose HIV infections earlier - as much as 3-4 weeks sooner than the previous testing approach. Early diagnosis is critical since many new infections are transmitted by people in the earliest ("acute") stage of infection. ; This graphic is designed to illustrate key concepts of the new testing approach in laboratories described in: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Association of Public Health Laboratories.
