On May 9, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended non-binding guidelines stating that testing for the HIV virus be included among the standard battery of tests for Americans, age 13 to 64. The CDC claimed that 250,000 Americans afflicted with HIV are unaware that they are hosts to the virus and that these people are most responsible for its proliferation.
