HIV rights advocates met with Gov. Corbett to recognize the passing of a new law that aligns the state's HIV testing rules with federal recommendations aimed at making HIV screening a routine part of health care rather than a stigmatized test given to "high-risk" individuals. Mary van den Berg-Wolf of Temple's Comprehensive HIV Program has been lobbying for these changes for more than two years and was present at the meeting. "Detecting the HIV-positive person is not only important for that person but for the public health," she said. "More than half of new infections are transmitted by people who don't know they're HIV-positive."
