Universal voluntary screening for young people and adults for HIV, a virus affecting the immune system which eventually causes AIDS, has been backed by high profile groups in the US, including the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent group of national experts who provide advice and recommendations to improve the health of Americans.
Previously we were using HIV /AIDS sreening for only hiv risk group like MSM,FSW,COMERICAL SEX WORKERS,PT SUFFERING FROM STDs,truck Drivers,Migratory Workers etc and it also included every Blood Transfusion and antenatal mother at Antenatal Clinic in country like India and abroad but as NOW THEME OF HIV INFECTION IS ZERO INFECTION THE WE HAVE TO SCREEN EVERY BODY AS TO DETECT THIS INFECTION AT EARLY STAGE AND TREAT HIM IMMEDIATELY SO THAT CONDITION NEVER WORSENS,MORE COUNSELLING OF THESE PATIENTS FOR FURTHER AWARENESS REGARDING HIV SO THAT OPPURTUNISTIC INFECTION NEVER HAPPENS.
The recommendation includes the desire that universal screening is done with correct notice of the impact a positive or negative result may have, while patients can ‘opt out’ of the process before being tested due to the sensitive nature of potential outcomes. This unusual opting out method as opposed to an opting in process of screening is very different from previously drawn out processes of counselling and testing, now seen as a barrier by many in the US towards a suitably modern screening approach towards a less stigmatised HIV illness.
Benefits of HIV screening
Public encouragement of widespread screening for HIV is now seen as a priority in order to identify those infected by the disease yet to experience symptoms, which may not appear for many years, therefore increasing risk of spreading the virus unknowingly. Because of recent advances in effective treatment of the condition, it’s becoming increasingly vital to capture the disease in its early stages, improving both long-term personal health and the safety of others.
