According to a new article by The New York Times, Federal health officials are going on a new campaign to stop the spread of HIV and early detection is key to the success.  Health officials feel that if individuals are tested early and then treated right away, one community at a time, that they can eventually stop the spread of HIV.  In order to implement “test and treat” routine testing needs to be performed on every individual in a community and if one tests positive immediate treatment is begun.  Eventually, researchers would like for routine testing to be offered at doctor’s office, emergency rooms, etc.
