“Health officials are trying to persuade doctors to offer HIV tests to nearly every patient in a New York City community hit harder than most by AIDS. Under a new program announced Thursday, officials have set an ambitious goal of testing a quarter million adults in the Bronx, one of five boroughs that make up New York City, within three years. ‘We need every single individual to know their status,’ said Dr. Monica Sweeney, an assistant health commissioner who specializes in HIV prevention.” (06/26/08)
