Pediatrics Group: All Teens Should Be Tested For HIV | A new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all teens age 16-18 be regularly tested for HIV if they live in an area where the prevalence of HIV is greater than 0.1 percent of the population. Efforts to target sexually active youth have not proven effective at reducing infection rates in that population. The recommendations also call for HIV testing for any adolescent tested for another sexually transmitted infection.
