Answer:

 Sexual and drug substance use risks should be determined during a routine health history with every new patient and updated regularly during periodic health care. 

Risk assessment helps to identify individuals at risk; support recommendations for HIV, STD, and hepatitis screening; and establish risk reduction education topics and strategies. 

Risk assessment can help people who are already infected access treatment

and learn how to avoid transmitting HIV to others.
