Abstract:
A prospective survey to assess reasons for requesting HIV tests, perceived HIV risk and sexual behaviour in genitourinary medicine clinic attenders was carried out. Overall 123 (38.6%) were concerned about casual sexual contacts. Homosexual and bisexual men may have changed their sexual behaviour as a result of public health campaigns but publicity had little immediate effect on prompting people to have an HIV test.
