  • Title: Determining the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) within a residential facility for persons with mental retardation.
    Author: Pledgie TK, Schumacher SH.
    Journal: Am J Ment Retard; 1993 Mar; 97(5):585-8. PubMed ID: 8461129.
    Abstract:
    Administrators of residential facilities for persons with mental retardation must take a proactive stance in determining the prevalence of HIV in the population. Administrators of the Stockley Center, a 345-bed ICF/MR, approached the issue utilizing a double-blinded seroprevalence study. Their aim was to use results from this testing to identify settings of high to moderate prevalence for purposes of reducing the further spread of infection.
