The Sheffield “HIV Testing in Neurology” protocol.
Based on the UKNG Guidelines for HIV testing. We have previously presented preliminary data from an audit of the effectiveness of this protocol alone in improving HIV testing [32]. We evaluated efficacy of improving HIV testing in eligible patients by re-auditing our service after changing the neurology admission proforma and introduced training sessions. We also studied the total number of HIV tests sent from the acute neurology unit.
