Identification of HIV-infected 12- to 24-year-old men and women in 15 US cities through venue-based testing.

Objective: To test whether "venue-based testing" could identify human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in US youth, 12 to 24 years of age, who were otherwise not aware of their infection. Racial and ethnic minority women and men who have sex with men (WSM and MSM) compose the majority of new HIV cases among adolescents and young adults.

Design: Cross-sectional study.
