Percentage uptake of HIV tests offered in GUM
(8182)
Metric type
- Help text
- Last published in 2018 - This is the number of eligible new GUM Episodes where a HIV test was accepted as a proportion of those where a HIV test was offered. Multiple episodes of HIV test offer and uptake are included per individual within a year. Eligible new GUM Episode is defined as a visit to a GUM (genito-urinary medicine) clinic including all subsequent GUM attendances in the following six weeks (i.e. eligibility for testing occurs only once every six weeks). Attendances by known HIV positive patients, or where a HIV test was not appropriate are excluded. HIV testing is integral to the treatment and management of HIV. Knowledge of HIV status increases survival rates, improves quality of life and reduces the risk of HIV transmission.
