Key messages

This year, the campaign will feature celebrities and influencers promoting ‘Give HIV the finger: a finger-prick test is all it takes’, a continuation of the successful creative that we have run for the last two years.

Our key messages for this year’s campaign are:

  • Testing for HIV is easy, all it takes is a finger-prick test.
    People can live with HIV for a long time without any symptoms, testing is the only way to know your HIV status.
    Anyone diagnosed with HIV in the UK can access free treatment and support.
    If you have HIV, finding out means you can start treatment, stay healthy and avoid passing the virus onto anyone else.
    There are more ways than ever to test – in a sexual health service, your GP, through community organisations and via online testing.

Hashtag

This year’s hashtag is #HIVTestWeek. Hashtags are not case sensitive so using #hivtestweek would work as well – we’ve just used capitals to make it easier to read what the hashtag is about.

Coming soon: campaign videos.
