The week-long testing initiative, delivered by Terrence Higgins Trust and funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, has been running annually in England since 2012.

During the week anyone nationwide can order a free HIV test, with two types of at home testing kits available.

One provides results within 15 minutes while another “self-sampling” kit, which also tests for syphilis, can be sent to a laboratory for results.
