Notes: The data used to compile these tables were taken from the KC60 return, which is made by all GUM clinics to the Health Protection Agency. The data does not represent the number of HIV tests offered and taken up by the population resident within each SHA, as many patients cross health boundaries to access GUM clinics. In addition, the gender and sexual orientation mix varies between clinics. Some clinics are attended by a high number of men who have sex with men and consequently this influences the number of HIV tests offered and taken.
⁽⁵³⁾ Test taken defined as KC60 codes S2 (HIV antibody test and sexual health screen) + P1A (HIV antibody test no sexual health screen).
⁽⁵⁴⁾ King's College Hospital does not collect information for code S2.
