Located in Bronx, New York, St. Barnabas serves a community at the epicenter of the nation’s HIV crisis. According to New York City estimates, as many as three of every 100 residents in the St. Barnabas neighborhood are infected with HIV. St. Barnabas is dedicated to not only caring for the sick but to ensuring the well stay healthy, too. Part of this commitment means helping community members learn their HIV status so HIV positive people can be connected to care and empowered to change their behavior to protect others. Born out of this commitment, the St. Barnabas hospital-wide routine HIV testing program was launched in April of 2008 and today has grown into one of the largest and most successful programs in the country. St. Barnabas leverages OraQuick ADVANCE® rapid oral fluid testing to quickly and easily test patients across the hospital including the Emergency, Ambulatory Care and Inpatient departments, among others. Since the launch of the routine program, St. Barnabas has increased the number of rapid tests in a year by nearly 10 fold — from just 1400 in 2007 to more than 13000 in 2009.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. It is five times more common than HIV, with approximately 5 million people in the US infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV).

A new, sensitive and rapid test for tuberculosis (TB) helped researchers detect the disease in a recent clinical study in Uganda — work presented today at the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC by UCSF assistant professor Gabriel Chamie. TB is the number one killer of people with HIV around the globe, and the old way of testing always relied on culturing the bacteria from the lung of infected people — a time, consuming process that generally requires centralized laboratories. “Typically when we’re diagnosing TB, the gold standard is culture, and it takes 6-8 weeks,” said Chamie, but the new test allows a result to be obtained within a day. “If we had a positive result we could go out and get them treatment.” Gabriel Chamie, MD, MPH, is an assistant professor in the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Positive Health Program at San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (SFGH)
