HIV Testing Week, 10 to 16 February 2025

Order a free self-test

Testing for HIV is free and confidential.

February 10th to 16th February is HIV Testing week. The sooner you know your HIV status, the sooner you can get on treatment if needed to stay healthy and avoid passing the virus on to anyone else. Most people will get a negative result, but whatever happens, it’s important to know that anyone diagnosed with HIV in the UK can access free treatment and support.

HIV Testing week makes it easy to test yourself. Use this link to order a free self-test which you take yourself to get a result in just 15 minutes, or a postal test where you take a sample yourself and send it off to a lab who will then contact you with your result. 

You can also access HIV testing by contacting Oxfordshire’s Sexual Health Service or by booking an appointment with your GP.

Regular HIV testing benefits all of us. If you are HIV negative, you can still use protection such as PrEP or condoms to stay negative. If you are HIV positive, you can go on treatment and live a long and healthy life – people on effective HIV treatment can’t pass it on to partners.
