National HIV testing week is coordinated by HIV Prevention England (HPE) with support and participation from organisations in the public, statutory and private sectors, and promotes the benefits of regular testing and treatment for both the individual and community. It raises awareness of the importance of HIV testing, as well as increasing opportunities to test – be it in clinical settings, in primary care, through community-based rapid testing or via postal testing. The ultimate goal is to increase regular HIV testing in the most affected groups. This year, it starts on Saturday 18th November. If you would like to stay up to date about it and find testing locations and more, check out www.hivpreventionengland.org.uk
