Chagas disease (CD), caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is underdiagnosed in the US. Improved screening strategies are needed, particularly for people at risk for life-threatening sequelae of CD, including people with HIV (PWH). Here, we report results of a CD screening strategy applied at a large HIV clinic serving an at-risk population.
