National recommendations advise routinely offering HIV testing to all new registrants to primary care and all general medical admissions where community prevalence exceeds 2:1000.1,2 It is, therefore, imperative that all physicians are educated and competent in HIV infection, counselling and testing. This study aimed to establish regional medical registrars{\textquoteright} opinions on teaching provision, and confidence in, HIV medicine.
