Next week marks National HIV Testing Week and the message from the campaign is that getting a regular test can help to reduce the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV.
People can live with HIV for a long time without symptoms, so testing is the only way to know your HIV status.
If you do have HIV, finding out means you can start treatment, stay healthy and avoid passing it on to others.
Testing for HIV is quick, free, confidential and easy. You can get it done at a sexual health clinic, through your GP, HIV and sexual health charities or by ordering a test online.
