NAT: The Early Test Program: Implementation of NAT Screening to Identify Acute and Early HIV Infection at San Diego Public HIV Counseling and Testing Sites

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
