Abstract
In spring 1995 one interviewer conducted a telephone interview with a professional involved with HIV issues at each of London's 33 maternity units. Information on women booking for antenatal care over the previous 12 months and the number who elected to have an HIV test were collected by postal questionnaire from 32 units. Copies of written information available for staff and women were also collected.Keywords
