Get Involved: National HIV Testing Week with the PaSH Partnership in Greater Manchester
Join us in marking National HIV Testing Week from 5th to 11th February 2024, as the PaSH (Passionate about Sexual Health) partnership, a collaborative effort between BHA for Equality, George House Trust, and LGBT Foundation, amplifies its commitment to promoting regular testing among the most affected population groups in England. This initiative aims to significantly reduce the number of individuals living with undiagnosed HIV and those diagnosed late.
Why Participate?
The PaSH Partnership plays a pivotal role in delivering a comprehensive range of services that cater to the changing needs of individuals newly diagnosed with HIV, those living long-term with HIV, and those at the greatest risk of acquiring HIV.
How You Can Take Part:
