Levelling up HIV testing for the endgame

The UK has made incredible steps towards ending AIDS as a public health threat, being one of the first countries in the world to achieve UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets. In 2020, the HIV Commission for England recommended that to go the final mile in ending AIDS and HIV-related deaths and stopping HIV transmission by 2030, opt-out testing should be implemented across the health service. And in December, 2021, the UK Government set out its Zero HIV Action plan, in response to the HIV Commission, which included a commitment to supporting opt-out HIV testing in accident and emergency departments.
