29 Jan HIV TESTING WEEK 2021

#PEACEOFMINDHIV

To mark the week of HIV Testing Week 2021 (1st to 7th February) Love, Sex, Life LSL is calling on residents of Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham to order an at-home HIV testing kit. This is where you collect a small sample of blood at home and send it off in the post for testing. The process to order a test is very simple and takes just a few minutes on the Sexual Health London website. Join us!

GETTING AN HIV TEST

A simple blood test can detect HIV. The test may not pick up an infection from a recent risk/exposure but it is highly accurate if performed four weeks after your last risk and is almost 100% accurate if you test 8 weeks after your last risk. This means, depending on the level of recent risk, and if your initial test was negative for HIV, it may be advisable to repeat the HIV test again after this 4 to 8 week “window period.”*
