English Successful prevention of an HIV epidemic is still a desirable goal. As young people are mainly affected by new infections and AIDS mortality has fallen virtually to zero, the long-term total costs of HIV management are increasing. This report describes how the targeted application of HIV testing can influence the HIV epidemic. The crucial point is the early diagnosis of primary HIV infection in standard situations whereby early diagnosis and counselling result in behavioral modifications preventing new transmission.
