Abstract
In a cohort of 106 HIV-positive women, 86 (81%) were registered with a general practitioner (GP) and 71 (83%) had a GP who was aware of their HIV status. GPs were primarily consulted for perceived non-HIV-related problems and prescriptions. This is encouraging. However, primary and secondary care services should aim to increase the proportions of HIV-positive individuals with access to primary care.
