The objectives of this study are to:
* Compare the effectiveness of on-site rapid HIV testing versus referral to a CHC lab in increasing HIV test completion within 84 days of a dental clinic visit, using EHR data.
* Assess the sustainability of the HIV testing protocol by evaluating changes in dental clinic HIV testing rates over time.
