The Health Protection Agency has published 'Evidence and resources to commission expanded HIV testing in priority medical services in high prevalence areas, April 2012'. This document provides an overview of the evidence of acceptability, feasibility, clinical benefit and cost-effectiveness of expanding HIV testing, in order to support current and future commissioners to implement routine HIV testing in general medical services. The main objectives of the toolkit are to: outline the rationale and policy context for expanding HIV testing in high prevalence areas; give current best estimates of the potential costs and savings resulting from this; and highlight issues involved in implementing routine testing for general medical admissions and in general practice and identify resources which will support commissioners and clinicians.
