Summary

Increased HIV screening may help identify more people with the disease, but there may not be enough resources to provide them with the care they need. The IOM Committee on HIV Screening and Access to Care concludes that more practitioners must be trained in HIV/AIDS care and treatment and their hospitals, clinics, and health departments must receive sufficient funding to meet a growing demand for care.
