National HIV Testing Week

National HIV Testing Week starts on Monday 7 February 2022.

National HIV Testing Week is a campaign to promote regular testing among the most-affected population groups in England. Regular testing helps to reduce the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV and those diagnosed late.

This year, the campaign returns with the successful campaign: ‘GIVE HIV THE FINGER: a finger-prick test
is all it takes.’

The Terrence Higgins Trust and HIV Prevention England have produced a set of posters and social media items that can be shared to help raise awareness, and ensure that people get tested.

Key Campaign Messages for National HIV Testing Week 2022:

  • Testing for HIV is quick and easy, all it takes is a finger-prick test.
  • People can live with HIV for a long time without any symptoms, testing is the only way to know your HIV status.
  • If you have HIV, finding out means you can start treatment, stay healthy and avoid passing the virus on to anyone else.
  • There are many ways to test – at a sexual health clinic, your GP, through HIV and sexual health charities or by ordering a test online.
  • Anyone diagnosed with HIV in the UK can access free treatment and support.

Please help share these messages using the attached items.

Thanks!
