National HIV Testing Week 2024

Written by AlisonFreemantle on Thursday 25th January 2024

From Monday 5 February

An opportunity for Public Health Promotion

National HIV Testing Week is back. From Monday 5 February Solent Sexual Health Services are calling on people across the county to test for HIV – and this year’s a special one as it marks a decade since the Testing Week awareness started. 

Testing is free and confidential. It’s also the only way to know if you have HIV and worth doing because people can live with HIV for a long time without any symptoms. It’s easy to get and take an HIV test, whether using a sexual health clinic, a GP, or prefer the convenience of using an at-home test kit.

Patients can access more information on how to order a FREE HIV test kit by visiting: 

The sooner people know their HIV status, the sooner treatment can be started if needed.
