A review of policy change regarding how patients access their HIV test results at two genitourinary medicine services in Central London.
A retrospective note audit was carried out across two genitourinary (GU) medicine services in Central London to review a radical change in policy one year after its implementation that allows patients assessed as low risk for HIV infection to receive their HIV result by post. Sixteen patients tested positive across the two clinics but had arranged to receive their results by post. Their recall management and outcomes are discussed.
