HIV testing week runs from 9-15 February. All north central London (NCL) boroughs have a high or very high prevalence of HIV. 

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends adding an HIV test onto bloods for anyone having a blood test who hasn’t had an HIV test in the past year (as long as the patient is aware).

Available to download below is a leaflet that summarises some specific scenarios where you should think about testing for HIV. 

Contact the NCL HIV GP Champions, Samantha Preston or Katie Lloyd, for any further information.
