- Clinicians Often Fail to Test for HIV After Diagnosing AIDS-Defining Illnesses, U.S. Study Suggests (February 11, 2009)
Judy Chen, M.D., M.S.H.S., presents an analysis of 7,451 patients enrolled in private U.S. health insurance plans. The study found that clinicians frequently fail to even consider the possibility that a patient may be infected with HIV, even though the patient has been diagnosed with a potentially AIDS-defining event for which there often is virtually no other possible cause.

Experts have long been mystified by the sporadic clusters of false-positive results when using the OraQuick Advance Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test. But Shelley Facente, M.P.H., and other researchers in California may have found the culprit: The tests appear to significantly lose their specificity as they near their expiration date.
