Rapid HIV testing with same-visit results should increase the number of individuals who know they are HIV infected. We assessed the acceptability and feasibility of point-of-care rapid testing in three public venues, a sexually transmitted disease clinic, a county jail, and an emergency department. Over 98% of all participants received their results, and 82% of newly identified HIV-positive participants entered care. Point-of-care rapid testing was feasible, acceptable, and may improve entry into care.
能在就诊时得出结果的快速艾滋病毒检测应能增加知晓自己感染艾滋病毒的人数。我们评估了在三个公共场所（一家性传播疾病诊所、一所县监狱和一个急诊科）进行即时护理快速检测的可接受性和可行性。超过98%的所有参与者都收到了检测结果，新确诊的艾滋病毒呈阳性的参与者中有82%开始接受治疗。即时护理快速检测是可行的、可接受的，并且可能会改善治疗的开始情况。
