Content Summary :
HIV Testing HIV testing in New Zealand While the current rate and pattern of HIV testing in New Zealand is not known, there is evidence that a significant proportion of people with HIV are being diagnosed relatively late in the course of their infection. Overall nearly 70% (38/55) of the people diagnosed with AIDS between the start of 2001 and mid-2003 had first been found to be infected with HIV within a month of their AIDS diagnosis. This was 14% (38/270) of all people diagnosed with HIV over that period, nearly a third (87/270) of whom had been diagnosed because of symptoms. Earlier diagnosis and treatment could confidently have been expected to have delayed the progression of the disease in many of these people. Similar results were found in the 2001 HIV Futures New Zealand study, in which slightly more than a quarter of 226 people with HIV interviewed reported they had first been tested as they became ill.
