Call to action to raise awareness of revolutionary pill which is crucial in the fight against new transmissions of HIV

Over 200, 000 tests have been done locally since 2021 as part of a national NHS England initiative to routinely test people, on an opt-out basis, within areas where the prevalence of HIV is highest. National opt-out testing is set to be expanded.

Rapid HIV testing within community venues, forms part of an ongoing programme of interventions available locally to promote regular testing and reduce the numbers of people diagnosed late with HIV.

In Greater Manchester, more than 6,379 people are thought to be living with HIV, with an estimated 5% unaware of their status.  National HIV Testing Week promotes regular testing among the most affected population groups – helping to reduce the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV and those diagnosed late.
