- Abstract
"The six basic principles that guide HIV testing in Australia are that:
- confidential voluntary testing with informed consent is fundamental to Australia’s HIV/AIDS response;
- testing is of the highest possible standard;
- testing is of benefit to the person being tested;
- testing is accessible to all those at risk of HIV infection;
- testing is critical to understanding the epidemiology of HIV infection in the community; and
- testing is critical to interruption of transmission."
