Abstract
This study was carried out between March and November 2002 at Port Shepstone Regional Hospital, KwaZulu Natal (KZN), South Africa. In early 2002, the KZN Provincial Department of Health (DOH) requested that physicians at state hospitals complete an AIDS Anonymous Report Form (AARF) for all patients testing HIV postive. This form aimed to allow monitoring of the demographic profile and AIDS-indicator diseases of patients throughout the province.
