The next edition of National HIV Testing Week (NHTW) will run from 9–15 February 2026. NHTW is an annual campaign that promotes and encourages regular HIV testing across England. It is particularly targeted at groups most affected by HIV, including gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), and heterosexuals of Black African ethnicity.
People will be encouraged to order a free HIV test kit from freetesting.hiv or to get tested in any other way that is convenient for them.
The campaign will use the tagline “I Test”, with a variety of sub-messages reflecting people’s different motivations for testing. Featuring a diverse range of models to resonate with and represent the target audiences, the campaign will run across outdoor advertising, targeted broadcast, digital and social media, press and PR.
