Brief description Rates of HIV and syphilis are rising in gay men in Australia. If these men have HIV and syphilis blood tests more frequently this is likely to reduce the spread of these infections. This trial tests the hypothesis that increased access to testing will increase the rate of testing. We are comparing the rate of testing in 420 gay men, half of whom are allowed to test whenever they choose, without having another clinical consultation.
