Research into expansion of HIV testing programme

max
MariaPCC 30 November 2023

A research project to evaluate an expansion of the hugely successful HIV opt-out testing programme to new sites across England, has been announced. This new initiative is expected to save, and improve the quality of, thousands of lives. Backed by £20 million of funding, the research will evaluate the testing programme in 46 sites. Expansion of the programme could identify a significant proportion of the estimated 4,500 people living with undiagnosed HIV, preventing new transmissions, and saving more lives – through testing people’s blood already being taken in emergency departments for bloodborne viruses (BBV), including HIV and Hepatitis B and C.
