摘要：

In a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic on the periphery of the London conurbation, HIV testing was promoted during a one-month period by offering testing without preliminary pre-test discussion to patients who assessed themselves to be low risk. The testing rate rose from 5.9% to 10.8% in women and 12.6% to 20% in men. One new HN-positive patient was identified.
