This #HIVTestingWeek we're asking folk to #GetTested and take control of their health There's no such thing as a bad #HIV diagnosis - If negative you can take steps to stay safe (PrEP etc) - If positive you now know and can start treatment There's support for you no matter what

Today is the start of #HIVTestingWeek in England. #DYK that there are thousands of folks in the UK who don't know that they're living with HIV? We can all do our part by testing for #HIV, and all it takes is a finger prick. Get your free test at: https://t.co/tGIwqIrneP today
