There is broad agreement on the impact that underdiagnosis and late diagnosis of HIV infection have on the health of people with HIV and on the persistence of the epidemic due to an inadvertent increase in transmission.

Many such strategies have been launched in other countries and, in Spain, have been recommended by the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality (MSSSI). The multidisciplinary group recommends the review and implementation of different measures in both health and community settings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
