مستخلص: Demographic and clinical variables of clients attending a sexual health centre in western Sydney from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2011 were examined to determine if nonoccupational HIV postexposure prophylaxis (NPEP) was being dispensed according to national guidelines, and to identify factors associated with completion of follow-up. The results showed that 95.8% of antiretroviral prescriptions were consistent with national guidelines. Consultation with a social worker significantly improved attendance for six week follow up serology (P = 0.027). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
