About one quarter provided on-site HIV testing (28 percent) or early intervention for HIV (25 percent), and 9 percent provided special programs or groups for persons with HIV/AIDS. Non-hospital residential treatment facilities were more likely than hospital inpatient or outpatient facilities to provide HIV/AIDS education, counseling, or support; early intervention for HIV; and special programs or groups for persons with HIV/AIDS. Hospital inpatient treatment facilities (79 percent) were more likely than non-hospital residential (41 percent) and outpatient (24 percent) facilities to provide HIV testing.
