Abstract:
:A national Scottish audit of 282 patients with HIV infection attending 11 clinics showed the following levels of performance against quality improvement Scotland Sexual Health Services Standards: syphilis serology was offered in the previous six months to 55% of patients (range: 12-97% of patients in individual clinics), sexual history documented within four weeks of initial HIV diagnosis in 67% (12-100%) and offer of tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) documented within four weeks of HIV diagnosis in 45% (4-96%). Considerable variation in performance exists between clinics. The audit prompted interventions to further improve the sexual health care of people living with HIV infection.
