title: HIV opt-out increases HIV testing in low-risk patients.
abstract: We audited the effect of introducing HIV opt-out in a genitourinary medicine clinic in central London, UK. We found that opt-out increased the rate at which HIV testing was offered to low-risk patients and that more tests were done.
