Brief Summary:
The investigators propose to study the impact of nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT) screening for acute Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) infections and Less-Sensitive Enzyme linked Immunoassay (LS-EIA) or 'detuned' testing Vironostika, Trinity Biotech BED, or Ortho-Clinical Diagnostic Vistros ECi for early HIV infection in conjunction with routine rapid HIV testing at HIV counseling and testing sites and venues in the San Diego county. The overarching goal of this study is to develop and implement a system to identify, notify and engage into care those individuals with recent HIV infection in order to better define the HIV and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) epidemics in the San Diego county and to evaluate and characterize HIV transmission dynamics within the San Diego population.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing
Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing
 Other: Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing
The Gen-Probe Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA) technology exponentially amplifies captured HIV-1 and HCV RNA in blood samples. The Gen-Probe system is available in two commercially available FDA approved products; 1) the Procleix assay is a multiplex system that is used to screen the blood supply for HIV and HCV. This assay will allow the simultaneous detection of all known HIV-1 subtypes with sensitivities designed to reduce the window period of false negative results from standard HIV antibody testing (EIA), while maintaining the ability to discriminate positive from negative specimens, even at very low copy numbers (Giachetti, Linnen et al., 2002).
