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.
