Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study was initially designed to compare the effectiveness of two different approaches to providing routine HIV counseling, testing, and referral services in an urban hospital emergency department setting. The initial phase was closed in July 2008. The second phase of this trial consists of establishing the differences in acceptability of HIV testing based on the method of testing offered (rapid oral fluid vs. fingerstick).
