| Résumé : | HIV testing can be generated either by the physician or by the patient. In all cases it should be integrated in a comprehensive approach of the patient and his history. This consultation will allow to give preventive recommendations - if the test is negative - and will help patient management - if the test is positive - in the setting of a good relationship aiming to off er the best medical, psychological and social follow-up to the patient. In this context it appears that pre-counselling should be systematically provided. The reasons for asking the test should be carefully analyzed. The pre and post-counselling should be used to try to improve preventive measures. On the other hand these first consultations should allow to detect and manage the psychological impact in case of seropositivity. |
