Medical Surveillance Monthly Report (MSMR). Volume 5, Number 5, June/July 1999

Abstract

Since October 1985, all civilian applicants for US military service have been screened for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1), during preinduction medical examinations at Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS). In addition, since 1986, all members of the active and reserve components of the US Armed Forces have been periodically screened to detect HIV-1 infections. This report summarizes results of routine screening for HIV-1 antibodies among soldiers and civilian applicants for US military service.
