Summary

The objective of this non-randomized, controlled, trial is to evaluate the optimal time to approach newly incarcerated jail inmates for routine opt-out HIV testing in a manner that maximizes the number of individuals able to demonstrate capacity to consent and willingness to receive HIV testing.

Conditions

  • HIV Infections

Interventions

OTHER

routine HIV testing

Potential subjects are offered swabbing as part of HIV testing by jail medical staff or study staff. All potential subjects are told HIV results can now be made available within a short period of time using an oral swab. Anyone not wanting HIV test results is allowed to refuse at the time of offering the HIV test and not be swabbed. If the inmate agrees to be swabbed and tested, he or she then meets with a member of the research study staff who discusses two separate informed consents - one for study participation and one for HIV testing.
