    Author: Mitchell L, Bushby SA, Chauhan M.
    Journal: Int J STD AIDS; 2011 Dec; 22(12):753-4. PubMed ID: 22174061.
    Abstract:
    Following the publication of the UK national guidelines for HIV testing 2008, we carried out a local audit to determine the level of awareness of these guidelines among doctors working in Sunderland Royal Hospital, Sunderland, UK. An email questionnaire was distributed. Over two-thirds of respondents were unaware of the publication of the guidelines. Only 36% of respondents felt comfortable in offering a patient testing for HIV. The majority of doctors who responded lacked knowledge and confidence in issues surrounding HIV management and diagnosis, suggesting that better dissemination of information and training is still needed.
