Hi all, it is National HIV Testing this week. Free HIV test kits are available to anyone over 16 that lives in England. Choose from a lab test (with optional syphilis test) and get results by text, or a rapid self-test you can do yourself. freetesting.hivwww.lgbthero.org.uk/hiv-testingwww.tht.org.uk/news/national-hiv-testing-week-returns-2024Regular HIV testing benefits all of us. If you are HIV negative, you can still use protection such as PrEP or condoms to stay negative. If you are HIV positive, you can go on treatment and live a long and healthy life — people on effective HIV treatment can’t pass it on to partners. The sooner you know your HIV status, the sooner you can get on treatment if needed to stay healthy and avoid passing the virus on to anyone else. Most people will get a negative result, but whatever happens, it’s important to know that anyone diagnosed with HIV in the UK can access free treatment and support. Best wishes
