HIV in DV (Raising awareness of HIV in dermatology and venereology) is an educational resource that provides information and guidance for dermatovenereologists and other clinicians managing skin conditions or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), on why, when and how to test for HIV.
Testing for HIV can save lives and prevent new infections. Many conditions seen and treated by dermatovenereologists can be associated with undiagnosed HIV infection. Being able to offer an HIV test to patients with conditions which may indicate undiagnosed HIV infection is therefore very important.
