According to the CDC, HIV testing in the United States is at a record high, but more than 200,000 Americans are infected and don’t know it, a U.S. government report released Tuesday finds. The CDC notes that 1.1 million U.S. adults are living with HIV and as many as one in five is unaware of it.
Diagnosis is essential because most cases of sexually transmitted HIV in the United States are spread by people who don’t know they are infected. But when they learn they are infected, people usually take steps to protect their partners, the CDC says.
