Many adolescents have undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and engage in risky behaviors. Healthcare providers must identify at-risk teens and understand the legalities of HIV testing in adolescents.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • While diagnosed Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cases in US adolescents are under 1000, numerous others harbor undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • Adolescent populations frequently engage in behaviors that pose a significant risk for HIV transmission.
  • The unique developmental and social factors of adolescence present distinct challenges in HIV prevention and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of identifying adolescents at high risk for HIV infection.
  • To emphasize the need for medical providers to be knowledgeable about the legal and ethical considerations of HIV testing in teenagers.
  • To address the complexities of HIV prevention and management in pregnant adolescents.
