Descrição: The focus of much of the current AIDS prevention activity at the federal and state levels has been on using AIDS antibody testing as the primary means of modifying high risk behavior. This focus is inappropriate. Testing can have clear beneficial effects, but it also has negative effects. Prevention campaigns instead should emphasize behavior change--and then determine whether antibody testing has a particular role as a part of that effort. The authors outline the empirical data on ramifications of AIDS antibody testing, make suggestions for further research questions, and call for public policy that can promote the potential public health benefits of testing without sacrificing civil rights or emotional well-being.
