UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer took a public HIV test this week, becoming the first known Western PM to do so. This act marks the beginning of HIV Testing Week, running from February 10-17, which offers 20,000 free, confidential at-home tests. About 107,000 people in the UK live with HIV, with around 4,700 unaware of their status. Starmer aims to end new HIV transmissions in England by 2030.
