 AB    Although the number of adolescents with diagnosed AIDS in the United
       States remains less than 1000, many more have HIV infection that has not
       yet manifested as clinical illness. In addition, most adolescents are
       involved in risk behaviors that potentially expose them to the virus.
       Medical providers should be prepared to identify those at highest risk
       and be familiar with the legal and ethical issues surrounding the
       evaluation and testing for HIV infection in this population of
       teenagers. HIV prevention and the presence of infection during pregnancy
       are particularly challenging to the provider in light of the special
       developmental and social issues that are inherent to the process of
       adolescence.
