Kian Scott-LoachThis National HIV Testing Week, join us for an expert webinar with Dr Alison Brown and Dr Nicky Connor from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), where they share the latest insights from the newly-published HIV testing and new diagnoses surveillance data.
This event will focus on the experiences of England in 2020, during the emergence and early peak of the COVID-19 pandemic; the associated lockdown restrictions and their impact on access and uptake of HIV testing services.
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. This helps to reduce the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV and those diagnosed late.
The campaign continues last year’s success and features celebrities and influencers promoting ‘Give HIV the finger: a finger-prick test is all it takes’.
We’re inviting organisations to participate by running campaign activities, events and promoting HIV testing and prevention services with our support.
