Launch of the 2008 Annual Evidence Update on Diagnosing HIV

The Infections Specialist Library has launched its first Annual Evidence Update on Diagnosing HIV. This Update is timed to coincide with World AIDS Day on the 1st December. The National Library for Public Health will be presenting a complementary evidence update on behaviour change in high-risk populations as part of the Sexual Health National Knowledge Week from the 1st to the 7th December.

There is a vast amount of literature on HIV and AIDS, so the Infections Specialist Library has chosen to focus on diagnosing HIV for its first update, and uses the UK National Guidelines for HIV testing as a starting document. There are commentaries written by experts on various subtopics, and links to other useful websites are provided.

The Update can be accessed here: http://www.library.nhs.uk/Infections/ViewResource.aspx?resID=299385
