Do you KNOW your HIV status?

Besi Besemar November 14, 2018

Do you KNOW your HIV status? Would you like to be in control and check it more often?

DO you want an HIV test, but haven’t got the time to go to the clinic? Would you like a test to do at home, when YOU want to do it, with support on-hand if you need it?

You probably know that HIV self-tests were licensed for use in the UK in 2015, and the ones using a single drop of blood are 99.7% accurate (BioSure®).  Well here’s the REALLY exciting bit…. as part of being a FAST TRACK CITY, Brighton & Hove are the FIRST CITY IN THE WORLD to have these tests available through touch-screen vending machines!

HIV self-tests are available through these award-winning machines in and around Kemptown at The Rainbow Hub opposite the Bulldog on St James Street, Prowler Brighton also on St James Street, Subline, and The Marlborough Pub & Theatre (see map). And what’s even more exciting is they’re available for a third of the cost of on-line or tests which are available in your high-street pharmacy.

The Martin Fisher Foundation won the 2018 British Medical Journal (BMJ) Innovations Award. Testing at home isn’t for everyone, and for those who prefer to go to the Sexual Health & Contraception (SHAC) clinic, they are still happy to see you.
