Characteristics of persons with recently acquired HIV infection: Application of the serologic testing algorithm for recent HIV seroconversion in 10 US cities

The characteristics of persons whose HIV diagnosis are made within 6 months of acquiring HIV infection is compared with characteristics of persons whose HIV diagnosis is made more than 6 months after infection. The early diagnosis of HIV can be increased by offering HIV testing to persons with a history of sexually transmitted diseases and to African Americans and Latinos in a variety of settings.
