National HIV Testing Week is an annual campaign, 9 – 15 February 2026, to promote and encourage regular testing across England. It is particularly targeted at groups most affected by HIV, including gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) and heterosexuals of Black African ethnicity.
People are encouraged to order a free HIV test kit from freetesting.hiv or get tested in any other way preferable or convenient to them.
