dc.description.abstract |
In this first study of opt-out HIV testing in Australia, a needs assessment and systematic review of research on opt-out HIV testing indicated a need for a change in testing strategy. Next, a qualitative study of health care providers found dichotomous beliefs about opt-out HIV testing. The final study found that opt-out HIV testing was acceptable, and few patients opted out. Findings from this thesis form an initial evidence base to inform practice, research and policy. | en_US |
