Yorkshire HIV Testing Week 2021
posted by Jess Wynn
on 16th November 2021
We are so excited to announce that the first ever Yorkshire HIV Testing Week will take place 22nd-27th November 2021!
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first cases of HIV being reported. During this time, we have seen major developments in both the testing and treatment of HIV. A person on effective treatment can live as long as someone who doesn’t have HIV, an added bonus of treatment is that it suppresses the virus to such a degree that it cannot be detected and cannot be transmitted, in other words Undetectable equals Untransmissible.’
It’s never been easier or quicker to get a HIV test, using a rapid point of care test we take a small drop of blood from a finger prick and it takes 20 minutes for you to get your results.
We're holding loads of HIV testing drop-in sessions across our areas over the week so it's the perfect time to get to know your status! See below for session places and times in your local area!
