The aim of this study is to examine how physicians use clinical practice guidelines that call for routine HIV screening in a general adolescent patients respond to routine screening. Physicians affered screening to 116 to 217 patients (53%) aged 13-21 who completed a survey. Physicians' offers conformed to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines with 73% of patients because some patients not offered a test had been screened within the last year. Physicians were three times more likely (OR-3.0;95% CI=1.3-6.8) to offer HIV screening to sexually active adolescents than to adolescents who reported no sexual history. Adolescent medicine physicians and their patients endorse the idea of routine screening as embodied in the latest CDC recommendations, but adolescents with no sexual history are less likely than other adolescents to accept screening when it is offeredand to support a clinic policy of routine screening. Both physicians and their adolescents patients continue to test based on risk assessments.
