IMAGE 2 reads HIV testing is an important part of preventive health care. However, barriers such as stigma, fear of judgment, confidentiality concerns, and limited access to care can prevent young people from seeking HIV testing. On this day, consider how your practice can support routine, equitable, and stigma-free HIV screening for adolescents.
