It's National HIV Testing Week, and we're raising awareness of why it's important to get tested.

  • Testing for HIV is quick and free, confidential and easy.
  • If you have HIV, finding out means you can start treatment, stay healthy and avoid passing the virus on to anyone else.
  • There are many ways to test, via a sexual health clinic, your GP, through HIV and sexual health charities or by ordering a test online.
  • Anyone diagnosed with HIV in the UK can access free treatment and support.
  • You can test in the comfort of your own home. Order your free test now from: https://freetesting.hiv/

Local support is availiable from the gateshead Sexual health Servcie: www.gatesheadsexualhealth.co.uk
