HIV & STI testing

In Leeds, we offer free, fast, and confidential HIV tests, as well as Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea tests. Our tests are aimed at people most at risk of HIV including Black African Communities and other People of Colour, men who have sex with men, trans, & non-binary people.

We will be continuing our practices to keep our staff and service users safe.
