Expanding HIV Testing for Veterans
Kansas AETC Trains
HIV testing is rare in the Nation's veterans care system—surprising given that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the biggest single provider of HIV/AIDS care in the U.S. Only around 10 percent of all veterans in the VA system have ever received an HIV test. That is changing as the VA ramps up HIV testing in select pilot sites as part of its operational plan to implement the 2010 National HIV/AIDS Strategy and its call to engage more infected individuals into care. HHS testing recommendations released in 2006 endorsed routine testing in health care settings. The VA subsequently revised its policies on HIV testing in 2009, paving the way for further expansion of routine HIV testing in VA settings.
