HIV Testing Week 2024

HIV Testing Week

National HIV Testing Week 2024

This year’s most significant week for HIV prevention


Like it or not, gay and bi men are one of the groups most affected by HIV. Which means it’s important we’re aware of HIV and how to prevent it, as well as to test regularly.

National HIV Testing Week is this month, 5th to 11th February, which means there’s no better time to get tested and know your status. Here’s your reminder to test.

And there’s no excuse good enough. That’s because HIV testing is quick, easy and confidential. If you’re finding it difficult to find an appointment, you can order a free postal HIV test to your door via https://freetesting.hiv – as well as find information on where to test locally, wherever you live. 

Self-sampling HIV & syphilis test kits are available to anyone over 16 that lives in England. Return your sample to the lab, and they will text you with your result.

National HIV Testing Week is part of It Starts With Me, which is coordinated by Terrence Higgins Trust. You can meet the rest of the campaign supporters on startswithme.org.uk.
