AB OBJECTIVE: To compare initial CD4 lymphocyte counts among asymptomatic
HIV+ individuals tested voluntarily and involuntarily. METHODS: Records
of all HIV+ patients followed in an HIV clinic at a public hospital in
New York were reviewed and those asymptomatic at initial presentation
identified. Initial CD4 cell counts of patients referred after testing
for insurance, immigration or blood donation (group A) were compared to
counts of patients (group B) undergoing voluntary testing. RESULTS:
TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: We found
no evidence that involuntary or imposed HIV testing identifies infected
individuals earlier in their disease than voluntary testing.
