BASHH Scotland National Audit 2004
HIV testing in Scotland: Are we meeting the standard?
Fiona Ross, Deborah Wardle, Alison Currie, Steve Baguley Comments: Results from a large multi-centre audit of HIV test uptake in Scotland (n=1105) and a survey of professionals' attitudes to HIV testing were discussed at the BASHH Scotland Spring Meeting on 20 May 2005. A wide range of both practice and perceptions were demonstrated, with between 0 and 97% of patients with an STI offered a test (mean 61%) and 14 to 70% (mean 35%) taking a test. Overall unweighted national uptake was 44%. These results suggest a considerable challenge in meeting the new standard in the Scottish sexual health strategy that all new attenders with an STI should be offered and recommended an HIV test.
