HIV testing: increasing uptake among people who may have undiagnosed HIV

Recommendation ID: NG60/4
Question: Indicator conditions:- What is the UK prevalence of HIV in various indicator conditions, and how effective are interventions using indicator condition-targeted testing compared with other testing strategies?
Any explanatory notes (if applicable): Why this is important:- There is a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of using indicator conditions to target HIV testing, an approach that may improve detection rates. Also, because it is targeted, there may be economies of scale, for example, HIV testing could be commissioned in clinics that treat people with indicator conditions.
