Abstract

Understanding the demographic and risk profiles of youth with recent HIV infection offers insight for imputing the dynamics of the epidemic and targeting prevention efforts. Three hundred forty-two HIV-positive youth were tested using a Sensitive/Less Sensitive strategy; 33% were classified as recently infected; with the majority (51%) occurring within African Americans.
