Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, remain on the increase in the UK. Settings other than traditional Genito-Urinary Medicine clinics are beginning to deal with some STIs more and more, either as a commissioned service or simply in terms of pragmatic management.

HIV testing should be undertaken in cases of clinical suspicion.
