National HIV Testing Week 9-15 February 2026: find out where you can get tested

Increasing HIV testing locally is a Bristol Fast Track City goal, supported by our Sexual Health Improvement Health Integration Team (SHIP HIT).

HIV can affect anyone and testing is the only way to know your status. Order a free and confidential test kit online during National HIV Testing Week: freetesting.hiv.

There are also a range of community testing events to visit to get sexual health advice, free STI tests and condoms.
