New York medical center installs HIV info kiosks
May 15, 2008

The New York Daily News: Doctors at Jacobi Medical Center in New York want to get the word out about a program they've created that allows people to be tested for HIV while getting important lessons on AIDS prevention. The idea behind Project BRIEF is to boost the number of people tested for the AIDS virus by offering the test in emergency rooms via individual, portable HIV kiosks. The kiosks give patients privacy as they answer a short questionnaire on a computer and watch informational videos while waiting for the results from their cotton-swab tests, which take about 20 minutes.
