HIV testing week 2022

Recent national data has shown that HIV now infects more heterosexual people than gay or bisexual men.

51% of women, 55% of heterosexual men and 66% of those aged 65 and over were diagnosed at a late stage, compared 29% among gay and bisexual men.

HIV is a unique health challenge and remains one of the most stigmatised health conditions.

National HIV Testing Week is a great opportunity for you to get tested and encourage others to do the same, particularly those from groups most affected by HIV, including gay and bisexual men and black African men and women.
