Anonymous antenatal testing for HIV antibodies suggests that the majority of HIV-positive women in the UK remain undiagnosed. Primary care reaches the majority of the population and women present more often than men. Sexual health matters are frequently raised, so there is an opportunity to discuss concerns with respect to HIV. Women often present with advanced HIV disease and with antiviral treatments proving to be more effective, there is now an even greater incentive to diagnose HIV early.
