    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services is seeking public comments on draft recommendations for HIV screening in clinical settings. This update aims to revise parts of the 2006 guidelines, including changes like removing the upper age limit for testing, encouraging the use of automated tools to support HIV screening, and emphasizing that anyone who requests a test should be tested. The goal of these recommendations is to improve early diagnosis, ensure patients are linked to care, and reduce HIV transmission. CDC invites feedback on these proposals, focusing on their clarity, effectiveness, and potential impact on healthcare providers.
