National HIV Testing Week

National HIV Testing Week starts on Monday 7 February 2022.

National HIV Testing Week is a campaign to promote regular testing among the most affected population groups in England. This helps to reduce the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV and those diagnosed late.

The campaign continues last year’s success and features celebrities and influencers promoting ‘Give HIV the finger: a finger-prick test is all it takes’.

We’re inviting organisations to participate by running campaign activities, events and promoting HIV testing and prevention services with our support.

Video Animations: we have included links to our Vimeo page where you can download short animations in traditional and stories formats. These are also suitable for waiting room screens.

Suggested posts: examples of posts for Facebook and Instagram plus tweets for Twitter.

Links: the suggested messaging also contain links to the It Starts With Me online testing tools, and the self-sampling postal test service freetesting.hiv.

Campaign hashtag: this year’s hashtag is #HIVTestingWeek. Hashtags are not case sensitive so using #hivtestingweek would work as well – using capitals can make it easier to read what the hashtag is about.
