Routine HIV testing urged in Iowa health push
Health officials advocate making HIV tests a standard part of routine care in Iowa to detect undiagnosed infections. A panel at the University of Iowa linked the new federal guideline for ages 13 to 64 with broader public health benefits and stigma reduction. Clinics offer tests at $25 to $52 with options for blood or oral swab, while some counties provide free testing to high risk residents.
