Free HIV testing this week: at home or drop-in

National HIV Testing Week (9–15 February) is a reminder that HIV testing is for everyone. Many people feel well and have no symptoms, so testing is the only way to know your status. Free, confidential options are available locally this week, and you can also test at home.

Two free, confidential ways to test

1) At home
Order a free HIV test kit through Yuno Sexual Health. No appointment needed.
