In Pittsburgh, as well as other cities, there have been some major problems with HIV testing sites. The first major problem for youth is the hours the sites are open. Most of the time, testing sites are open only during the week, during school hours. This makes it very difficult for youth to be able to get tested.
Chances are, none of the above.
Instead, many young people simply do not get tested. In a Pittsburgh high school, students heard it was time to donate blood. Many students rushed to the gym. They were not told that this is a dangerous way to get tested. The danger lies in the fact that although donated blood is tested, it is not collected for this reason.
