The annual event runs from Feb 10 to 16 2025. It promotes regular testing in England and aims to significantly reduce the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV and those diagnosed late, in particular the most affected population groups.
As part of the National HIV Testing Week, the PaSH Partnership is offering drop-in testing at various community venues across Greater Manchester. This means it is even easier to get tested.
Find a venue near you – some of the sessions can be booked in advance.
Ending new diagnoses of HIV
Greater Manchester is part of the fast-track cities initiative. The global partnership is committed to ending all new transmissions, late HIV diagnoses and eventually new diagnoses of HIV by 2030.
Testing for HIV is quicker and easier than ever – you can even test at home. Anyone diagnosed with HIV in the UK can access free treatment and support.
